Week 12: Photo Recolor







Craft
I took each of these photos and set the saturation to zero and set each of the layers to multiply to make the whites transparent. The center photo was lowered in contrast to make the ocean pop more once the colors were introduced. For the background, I used a basic blue, then I used a less saturated blue, and a tinted blue and painted picked out items.
Concept
The concept was to keep the beach scenes theme constant and to pick out smaller items to make them stand out.
Composition
In the first photo, the birds are painted with the dull blue to stand out amoung the blue background and the water is painted the brighter blue to draw the viewer to the water instead of the beach. In the center photo, the water is again brightened to stand out in the background. In the last photo, the lighthouses are brightened to stand out from the water which stands out with the duller blue against the sky and beach.
