Through creating this project, I became more familiar with Photoshop. I used the same picture but flipped it for the photo with the butterfly in it. In the photo on the left, it shows the brightness and boldness an eye can represent. On the right, the photo shows how eyes can have reinfections that maybe have a deeper meaning. My theme is eyes and their different types, perspectives and ability to edit.
From taking these two pictures, I have realized that you can do a lot with photo shop and someone's eye. The photo on the left I rushed too much and some of the color is in spots where it not should be. In the photo on the right, I used all black and white and it made the photo really boring. I believe if I would have used more color then it would have looked okay... I have also realized that in order to add a photo to an eye, the photo you are adding needs to be very boring so that you can decipher what it is in the image.
These photos are inspiring to me because I can try new techniques like these photos. I also love how detailed the eye is and how the color pops out against the black and white.
All of these photos fit into a general theme of Black and White Landscapes. These photos have a higher contrast and are photos from a state park in Pennsylvania. Through my images I am trying to show the beauty of nature and the park, as well as how black and white can make a photograph seem quite timeless. I was influenced to create these photos by my love for nature and exploring. While I was creating these images I thought of Ansel Adams and the photographs that he created with black and white landscapes. All of my landscapes are a little different depending on how far away they are taken, if there is a lot going on in the picture, or the different hues of black, grey and white.
