As the project is mainly about my mother, i needed to show how as she is now, to introduce the link about her past to her present, to show how her past shaped the person she is now. to take these images i used a single light to the side of her, and a digital camera. these photos were taken at home, against a plain wall. I originally wanted to use the sun to my advantage as the main source of lighting, however because of the time of year it was difficult to do so as the sun setts quickly. instead i used a phone torch and the lighting from the sceeling.
Sub Selection
I have selcted the images that to me where up to their bbest quality and resolution.
Editing
From the sub-selection I have started to edit the photographs. I made minimal changes as I planed to distort them later on, therefore I didn’t wanted to have too much going on.
These were the settings for the first image editing, I tried different editing styles, including filters and changing different settings to achieve different results. I was happy with all but i knew that once i found the right one i was going to stick with it and make all the wanted photographs to be edited in that style.
As I was trying different editing techniques and settings, the outcome above, compared to the one bellow shows how different they are. This also shows me a certain mood that each one creates, like for example the first one has a futuristic look due to the amount of colours. However the one bellow looks like it was taken on an older camera, which gives a nostalgic feel to the image.
