Garcia+J-Texture



My fist step was to figure out which pictures worked will together, this was a challenge because, I had a large variety of different scenery. There was a lot of close ups and a lot of scenery. Once I figured out what background I wanted I immediately opened it in photoshop. I then opened my first image in a different photoshop tab I erased erased Image 1’s background I then b rought Image 1 to the background image and placed it where I wanted to I changed the level on Image one to darken the highlights to work with the background (255->190) At this point I could not figure out what else to do to change the image so I took a bit of time to think and go through my photos for a new idea Once I found my new idea, I went to work on it I took the flowers as subject of Image 2 and erased the background I then duplicated that layer 4 times I transferred those 4 layers to my piece I resized and rotated all the flower layers differently I adjusted saturation to -70 and lightness to -70 on the flower layers I a djusted color to +16 Red on the flower layers

===The texture I emphasized was the texture of the statue=== ===My concept is euphority and peacefulness. I achieved this by using warm natural lighting=== ===I feel this was only kind of successful, I could have done better, if on shooting day I was more focused on finding things I could put together. Without this it made it much more difficult to make the piece.===
