Gwilliam+C+Texture



In my piece, the first change I made was to my background image featuring the blue stone and grass. I adjusted the contrast, and raised the brightness to bring more light to the background. The second change I made was to the image of Maddy squatting. I adjusted the levels and brought up the highlights in the photo to lighten in. The third change I made was also to the photo of Maddy, I adjusted the contrast to become more warm because I thought it would pop against the background image. The fourth change I made was I resized the image of Maddy to crop just her within the image. The fifth change I made was to the photo of Maddy was I erased all of the background image so that Maddy was the only thing pictured. The sixth change I made was adding the photo of Maddy as a new layer in the background image of the gross and blue stone. The seventh change i made was to use the blur tool around the edges of Maddy do the image blends a bit more with the background. The eighth change I made was to crop the photo of the flowers leaving the lighting the same because I thought the darkness would contrast against the light-weight feel of the rest of the photo. The ninth change I made was to erase the background of the flower so it was the only subject in the image. The tenth change I made was to apply this photo on top of the two layers creating one image.

Within my image I tried to capture the rule of thirds, by not keeping everything in the center and focusing on the three focal points. I brightened up the background so it was to stand out the most. The background of the grass was my main feel of texture within the piece. The way the image was captured when you look at it you can almost image summer time mowing the long lawn. I also effectively captured texture on the side of the blue stone. I believe I used leading lines with the lines drawn on the stone that draws your eye all around.

The concept behind my project was to make it seem like the movie, "Honey I Shrunk The Kids". This image portrays Maddy on top of a rock making her look miniature, alongside the grass that look enormous compared to her, along with the flower she is taking a photo of. I believe that I really captured the inspiration within the photo. Next time I feel like I would adjust the opacity of each layer to make them blend together and look more natural, as well as matching the lighting so that the layers look like they aren't so much of a "photoshop" work of art.
