PHOTOSHOOT : Paper texture

Using Lightrooms flagging system i selected my preferred images and erased the lower quality images from my library to help me better focus on my images.
This left me with a select few images to focus on that i felt best portrayed the themes of texture.
To compare my photos i used light rooms X and Y feature demonstrated here to help me more efficiently select my best images

Brendan Austin

Brendan Austin is a photographer who explores the illusion of how paper can be manipulated to represent nature.

His photos often consist of scrunched paper placed that replicate the look of mountains

This inspired me to attempt to re create this illusion.

This was my original image , to create this I scrunched up a piece of paper and placed it onto a black background and using lights i created shadows to accentuate the creases in the paper
I then looked at another reference photo and saw the saturation was higher with blues and oranges coming through on the paper
I increased the texture of the photograph to create an earthy element so the paper will resemble a mountain , i increased the exposure to make the paper mountain stand out and added warmth and saturation to the image.
