identity experimentation –

within this photo I edited by cropping it so each face is in one 3rd each and as been put into a black and white which makes it seem more like its been taken when most photos would be taken in black and white which is similar to Ilse Bing, which is quite similar to the one I edited below. however within this photo its slightly blurry, so dose not capture the full essence of the photographs that are similar to this photograph. (image above)

The edits in this photograph create a vintage, artistic vibe through the use of a black-and-white filter, which adds a timeless and nostalgic feel. The high contrast emphasizes textures and details, such as the reflection in the mirror and the roller skate in the foreground, while the composition, using the mirror and layered elements, adds depth and intrigue. Additionally, the graininess evokes a film photography aesthetic, enhancing the analogue feel and transforming a casual self-portrait into a stylistic and expressive piece. (image above)

this photo has a similar pose to a photos which Anastasia jobson took and how its been done in black and white however in all of her photos there is more of an facial expression , which in the photos is similar to Ilse Bing. (image above)

The edits in this image create a dramatic and emotional effect through the use of black-and-white conversion, high contrast, and sharp details. By removing colour, the focus shifts to the subject’s expression and textures, while the strong contrast highlights key features like the eyes and facial structure, adding intensity. The dramatic lighting creates depth and a sense of mystery, emphasizing vulnerability or introspection. Together, these techniques evoke a powerful emotional connection with the viewer.

the edits in this black and white photo create a moody and timeless atmosphere. the absence of colour emphasizes texture and contrast, bringing attention to the subjects posture, expression, and surroundings. the gritty details, like wood grain floor and soft fabric of the chair, contribute to a vintage, reflective feel. (image above)

the edits enhance the photo by using dramatic lighting and a dark background to make the subject stand out, while the muted pastel tones and warm skin hues create a nostalgic, vintage feel. the focus on textures, like skates and hoodie, adds detail, while the soft emphasis on the subjects face and evokes an intimate and timeless aesthetic. (image above)

the edits in the photo creates a striking and intimate effect by emphasizing the subjects expression with soft lighting and dark background, which isolates and draws attention to her. the warm skin tones and subtle blush add a natural, emotional touch, while the pastel tones of roller-skates contribute to a nostalgic and youthful vibe. these elements work together to evoke a sense of quiet reflection and simplicity.

the edits in the image creates a dramatic and emotional tone by using a silhouette effect, where the subject is fully un shadow, contrasting sharply with a bright background. the high contrast enhances the textures of the ground and water, while the backlighting highlights the subjects edges, drawing focus to the glowing effect of the setting sun. the black and white filter removes colour distractions, emphasizing composition, light and texture, while adding a timeless and nostalgic quality. altogether, these elements combine to evoke a reflective, serene, or melancholic mood. (image above)

the edits in this image builds on the pervious image on the dramatic mood by maintaining the subjects is now standing still, facing the light, the background further highlights their shape while leaving their features undefined, emphasizing form and posture. the black and white tone enhances the reflective and timeless quality, while the textures of cracked ground and shimmering water adds dept. the stationary stance and quite composition evoke a scene of calm contemplation or solitude.

all of the black and white ones are quite similar by that in most of the its a black out subject that the shape is quite prominent but the photo below that’s in black and white show the facial features and expression and how is quite a sad tone within this photo.

the image shifts the tone by revealing the subjects face and details, breaking away from the pervious silhouette style. the natural light creates contrast, but emphases the texture of subjects clothing and reflective background, adding depth. the subjects posture and expression feel candid and contemplative, while the monochrome palette maintains the timeless and nostalgic atmosphere. the inclusion of the skates and casual attire adds a scene of personality, blending a reflective mood with subtle dynamism. (image above)

the edits of this photo give a very cold effect to this image, which also with the subjects face facing downs its shows the mood of sadness and the blue background adds to this dramatically.

within theses 3 photos it gives a similar effect of timelessness but there is a more lighter pale shade within the photos.

this style of editing is what i will be doing on the day of the exam (2 photos above) these photos give off an effect of timelessness and the vibrant colours in the background make the subject more dramatic.
