Schaefer-+Texture+Combine+3

When working on the this project, I started out my choosing my three photos that I wanted to combine. From there I first edited the front layer which was the picture of the fence. I brightened the sky and increased the contrast in the photo. I then added the picture of Nicole behind the fence and edited it to brighten her face and increase the saturation as well as changed and highlighting the color of her eye. I removed pieces of the photo of the fence so that the picture of Nicole behind it would be shown. When I added the third photo of the tree branches, I removed the sky from the other picture and replaced it with the tree. I edited the final picture to increase the contrast and tinted the shadows in the picture blue to match with Nicole’s eye. Once each picture was added, I removed more and erased pieces of the photo that was in the front.

In my background piece, I used leading lines shown by the fence. Because of the angle that the photo was taken at, your eye is drawn to follow the fence as it goes out of view. In the bottom layer photo of Nicole, I used the rule of thirds as well as interesting point of view. In the final combined photo, the composition techniques that were used in the individual photos were all put together which really added to the compositional aspect of the final photo.

In my final piece, I emphasized mostly on the texture of the fence as well as the tree branches that were in the background.

My concept for this project is reading between the lines. This was shown by the way it feels as if Nicole is looking in between all the lines of the fence as well as highlighting her eye so that that is one of the first things someone would look at.

Looking at my final project, I feel that I was overall successful in how I layered my photos to create an interesting concept. If I were to do this project again I would try to edit the photos differently in order to create a more interesting look to the final outcome.
