Bogie-Katie+Texture



My entire concept of my end photo was to show how beauty seen by the eye and the beauty within are two different kinds of beautiful and are both extremely important in making a person whole. I used movement in my photo with the running to lead the eyes and made her a bit off centered so she was just a little bothering to look at. The leading lines of the porch walkway was also helping with the movement. I worked really hard to highlight her flowery torso and the plants that were flying all over the place because although the picture was simple it gave a person a lot to look at. It appeared full. My first step of my project was to outline Clara and cut and paste her into the other picture. After I added her, I erased all of her sharp edges and made it more accurate and messed with the brightness to make her look the same shade as the photo. Then I continued to remove her torso and erased parts of her legs to make her look like she was behind the weeds of the walkway. I cut the flowers and downsized then after pasting them to my picture. I proceeded to blend the flowers into the picture and make it look as if they were originally there by changing their levels. Then, I added the same picture and flipped it to fill the uneven gaps in the bouquet and continued to phase over them with my eraser to make them look ghostly. In the end I made all the pictures look even with each other and blended. Overall, I am very proud of my work but I also believe I could have fixed up a few more things: blurred more lines, blended Clara into the picture more, etc. But at the end of the day I'm confident in my end product and glad it turned out.
