Forced Perspective

In this photo I have Lauren laying on the ground with her feet up in the air reading a book. The 'forced perspective' makes it look like a birds eye view of her reading sitting up strait against a wall. I edited it with brightness and contrast and I gave it a redder tone with the red curves adjustment. Taking pictures and setting up the scene was the hardest part about this project. Especially working around the school with limited time also made it hard to make the picture unique.

In this photo I had Lauren sit against a wall and instead of taking a birds eye view I stood above her and took the picture of her looking up. Her legs are against the wall while she is laying on the ground. The editing was a gradient with low opacity for a dull look. It was hard to find new ways to take the picture and I didn't like the scenes as much as some of my other projects.

Color Fill Edits

For this photo I turned the shirt from aqua blue to purple. The second edit was changing the white shoe to orange. The shoe has complement colors blue and orange. The whole picture is analogous because of the red blanket, blue jeans, and purple shirt. The selection was easy to do and I like the editing tool for creating a good mix of colors.

In this edit I have green, blue and red. The colors make up split complementary colors. The editing style I used was selection and color fill layers. I changed the opacity in both pictures of the selected area. I changed the left shoelace from blue to green for added color and appeal to the picture. The detail of the laces was hard to select using the magnetic tool but it was a great effect for my theme.
