My photo after editing:

To achieve this photo, I went down to the studio and completed my camera set up in order for my photo to reach its full potential. I placed my tools onto a plain neutral piece of card which allows the brush to be the focus point in the image. The angle of my camera was placed at a birds-eye view, because it looks similar to Walker Evans’ photos, and gives the photo a sense of uniqueness.

Finally, I chose one of my best images that I had put a green flag on and rated it 5 stars. This technique is useful because it makes it easier for me to decide which photos I want to use and which ones I can retake / not use. I then cropped the image so there was less background around the paintbrush, and I edited the saturation of the photo because our artist inspiration Walker Evans often has his photos in low saturation for a dull effect.
