MONTAGE
This image was created within my second shoot (from my mains 13 shoots). I created this montage of images to provide a fun and creative atmosphere to the image. Below is a link where I describe how the image was produced.
BLACK AND WHITE
I created the above image within my tenth shoot (From my main 13) as a multiple exposure piece. How I created the multiple exposure aspect is explained within my work diary for this shoot. I decided to make this image black and white to enhance the dramatic feel of the piece. This effect was very easy to create. To the left is a screenshot showing the setting I used to create this particular effect on the image. I simply chose a black and white adjustment and changed the settings according to how the image looked and what I felt worked best.
OVERLAY
I created this overlay effect within my tenth shoot. I decided to do a shoot on multiple exposure as iIfind it an interesting area of photographic realities, however my camera does not have this option therefore I produce the images within Photoshop.
A detailed explanation of how I created these images is within my work diary for this shoot which I have linked below.
IMAGE WITHIN AN IMAGE
No Photoshop editing was required for this particular image within an image as I photographed a person taking an image of the stature as I feel it has produced a very interesting piece.
IMAGE WITHIN TEXT
I really like how this effect can create such a powerful image. I like how the writing is more clear is certain places highlighting particular words. The way in which I created this image is described below.
Firstly I changed the image into black and white before proceeding to cropped the image and changing any background behind her hair into black with the brush tool, however I only done this on the right side. I added a new layer which is labeled as background copy. I created a box which covered half her face with the edge aliened with the middle of her face and filled it with black. I then used the text tool to create the outline for the text shown. I adjusted the size and font to how I felt it fit the image and placed it where desired. I used the quick selection tool to select the text before clicking on to the background copy and deleting the previously selected area. This allowed the image to be seen through part of the left hand side which was covered in black. I then adjusted the brightness on part of the image on my left hand side so the words could be seen more clearly.
SELECTIVE COLOUR
I like how selective colour can be used to enhance certain colours within an image. I like how this image shows the bright red colours of the berry's yet still show the frost on the branches. Helping to enhance the Christmas feel to the image due to the link Christmas has with this colour. I created this image by adding a black and white adjustment and then rubbing out the areas which contained the red berry. For this to work the foreground colour must be white.
DUOTONE
I experimented with the technique duotone as I think colour is an important aspect of many images and is what appeals and attracts many people. By adjusting tones and colours it can change the atmosphere and produce a different or more powerful image. I am really happy with the way in which this image looks and the way in which the dark purples fade into a more pale and bright purple to the right. Enhancing the fading parts of the girl. To the left is a screenshot of when I was applying the colours, I chose this purple and grey as I thought it produced a nice effect.
I created this duotone by the following steps.
- Select 'Image' then 'Mode' and chose 'Greyscale'. This is allow you to use the duo tone
- Select 'Image' then 'Mode' and chose 'Duotone'. The option similar to above with be shown. However only one colour can be chosen Select 'Type' and chose 'Duotone'. This will them show two colour options and adjust the individual colours as desired.
- To save the duotone as a jpeg one step must be carried out. Select 'Image' then 'Mode' and chose 'RGB Colour' This will then allow the file to be saved as a jpeg.
CLUSTER
I like how this cluster technique helps to separate certain parts of the image, for this particular image it has enhanced the detail of the grass. I created this technique by first creating a template for the technique. I created the template by creating a new document with two layers and then adding a clipping mask. I adjusted the effect on the template and added a drop shadow. I then only needed to place the image on the document. Once the placed the image on to template it displayed as shown below I then had to adjust the document/ image so the clipping mask worked for the image. The individual layers are shown within the screenshot below. 
LINKED WITHIN MY PROJECT
These images link to my project due to the extensive work I have done within Photoshop and how this project has been about developing my ability within Photoshop and use of my camera. I think the print techniques which I have done also help to enhance formal elements which are important within the given image. Overall I am happy with how these print techniques have allowed a further development of my images within Photoshop. I like all the images produced from the adjustments described above and have pleased with the overall quality and look of the images.
