Experimentation 1:

What i did:

For this image, I opened photoshop and pressed new and pressed A4 portrait. Then in Lightroom I exported an image of the harbour and edited the image in black and white. Then using an image from the Jersey archive, I used the objection tool in photoshop to select the two kids in the image and then placed them on the black and white image. I then placed the two kids in the most appropriate place in the image. This was all I did for the experiment. I really liked how this image turned out so I was inspired to produce another one like this and use it for my zine.

Experimentation 2:

What i did:

For this image I did the exact same for experiment 1, I opened photoshop and pressed new and pressed A4 portrait. Then in Lightroom I exported an image of the harbour and edited the image in black and white. Then using an image from the Jersey archive, I used the objection tool in photoshop to select the two men in the image (same image used in experiment 1, just different people) and then placed them on the black and white image. I then placed the two men in the most appropriate place in the image. This was all I did for the experiment. I really liked how this image turned out and was certain that it was gonna be used in my zine.

Experimentation 3:

What i did:

For this image, I opened photoshop and imported the plain image of the three boats onto photoshop. I created another layer to this image and in this layer I focused in editing the sea. I made the sea much greener and intensified the green tones it had. I then selected the first layer and with the objection tool, I selected the boats, took the editing/ colouring that was done to them when I was editing the sea and edited them in black and white by using adjustments and and I also cropped this image so that the focus was the boast and the sea, that’s all I did to this image. I didn’t really like how this image turned out. It was quite awkward and random so this image was rejected. However I wanted to do the method I used in this image differently so I tried it again, as seen below.

Experimentation 4:

What i did:

As stated above, I did exactly what I did for experiment 3 however just slightly different. For this image, I opened Lightroom and imported the plain image of the two men fishing onto Lightroom. I applied soft sepia to the image and then exported the image to photoshop. In photoshop, I created another layer to this image and in this layer I focused in editing the men. I selected the second layer to the image that I created and with the objection tool, I selected the men and took the editing/ colouring that was done to the background and edited them in black and white by using adjustments and filters and that’s all I did to this image. This image was rejected because I didn’t like the sepia colour and the men in black and white. It looked strange.

Chosen images:

Evaluation:

Out of all of the experiments shown above, I chose these two because I thought that they were the best edited and realistic. I liked how the past people were incorporated with the present really nicely. I also thought that it would be perfect in my zine as It could fit the narrative I was going for.
