Portraits

I like this photo because of the way the green contrasts well with her skin, and I like the lighting on her face. To edit this photo I just enhanced the lighting and adjusted the brightness/contrast.
This photo is of my sister and I decided to make it black and white and blur the background to focus more on her face.

Color psychology

This photo represents the color black which can show death. I thought it would look the best to have her stand against a white background so that the black would stand out. I used a gaussian blur/ overlay filter on this.
This photo obviously represents green which can mean peace and openness. I adjusted the hue/ saturation and the brightness/ contrast to help the green really stand out.

This photo represents brown which can be down-to-earth or sophisticated. I used a photo filter- sepia tone to create a better brown through-out the photo.


This photo is for the Yellow Wallpaper story I read. It shows the isolated feeling of being trapped inside a room and only being able to look out a window. I adjusted the brightness/contrast and played around with the curves to give the photo a darker more depressing look.

Attractive Photo

This photo represents attractive because I think the sky looks pretty. To edit this photo I just adjusted the highlights/shadows and the contrast.

Attractive Photos

This picture represents attractive. I was actually outside taking pictures and I saw a deer like across my road and was lucky to get a quick photo before the deer ran away. I like how I framed the deer between the fence and the branches. I played with the colors a little and blured the background around the deer to make the deer stand out better.


Repulsive Photos

I chose to take this photo of my old rusty van to represent repulsive. All I did to edit this one was sharpen it a little.



This photo is of my sisters foot covered in dry mud/clay. A lot of people think feet are gross, so I thought it would be a good repulsive image to take. The foot was already in focus with the background out of focus when I took it. All I did to edit this picture is play around with the highlight/contrast.
