| For this image, I wanted to create the illusion of a dancing figure in the air. I used a string to hang it from the ceiling, a blank wall, and a few reading lamps to create the shadow. The shadow was really important for me to have because I feel that it added the level of dimensionality that would add to the image's "surrealism". I then edited the string out of both the figure itself and its shadow. I then amped up the contrast to accentuate the figure and its shadow, played with curves, and lowered saturation. Overall, I actually am quite pleased with how this turned out. Editing the string out was harder than I thought, because there was a slight gradient of light on the wall. The final image is interesting in my opinion. |
