Photoshop Edits

Photoshop edits by Myself

   From the 12 photos I had taken for the xmas project, I decided to try manipulate them via Photoshop. I found this not only fun but interesting as I have never really worked with almost kaleidoscopic colours for a fashion project before. This is probably the main reason as to why I find the lights most interesting because they are the highlight of the photo, whereas the human figures are the outcasts and this can represent a strong message of many kinds. In addition, it also shows the movement in a still image by the shadows of how people are dancing and jumping around. I don't know whether there is a word or phrase you can say when you expect something to move when it doesn't, but I thought a series of these could tell a story by the movement of light. Plus, the movements within the image can also interpret the shape of style of the dress to make it look rather obscure, but it would make sense to the image.

    These edits above I found rather interesting. Despite the fact that you can't see the human figures anymore, this makes this print look much more abstract and interesting, similar to perhaps even a human cell which could make up for the reduction of them. This could make my project have much more intense diversity within it by using flashing lights as a resemblance of human cells, thus we are created by light e.g The Sun, which again makes these images and edits have much more narrative to them. I really do like the ideas of relating light to life and how it resembles safety and renewal, hence this could really lead to something with more potential. I can't exactly think at the moment as to how I would make this differently due to my rather great start on working towards this. I must say however, it is really hard to push myself at home without having and sorts of machinery or stands to work on, so this must be something I have to do when I get back. I have many ideas such as knitting, the embroidery machine and perhaps even laser cutting to get this effect.
