Digital Eye

The project Digital Eye was an assignment that allowed us to experiment with the tools of Photoshop, including filters, color enhancement, and other photo manipulation. I chose a picture of my mom and a picture of my nephew Evan. I used filters, color enhancement, and other manipulation tools to change these photos.

This is my beautiful mother. Her facial expression and stance looks as if she got caught doing something wrong. So I put a red filter on the picture and masked a giant cookie into the photo showing what she got caught doing! This was originally a photo from my high-key/low-key photo shoot. The picture was way to fun to not do anything further with it; I think this worked out nicely.

This is another photo of my nephew. I adjusted the color so that his face is a dark shadow on a light background. It adds a bit of mystery as to what my nephew is thinking about. I love the curvature of his little face and the contrast with the highly digital background. The background shows the outline of the houses through the window.
