Scary Picture

The tutorial I chose for my scary picture was the one that looked like a statue with sediment-esque rock. I thought it was a relatively easy project, but it was really fun making it go from a light, happy, smiling picture of my brother to a freaky, spooky statue with no eyes.

Smoke Portrait

For this image, I took a profile picture of my brother Ben, and then added a filter that made the picture look like it was sketched. I then inverted that filter so that Ben would be white, and the background would be black so he would stand out more. Then I added "Real Smoke" brushes individually to create a smokey, firey type look on his head. I picked this project because it looked really cool and was a challenge for me. My favorite project so far!

Edits-Explore Photography

In this picture, I increased the blacks to make the orange pop out more, and increased contrast for the same reason.

For this picture, I put a sepia tone over the entire image, and increased the black to make it pop more.


For this image, I made the tint more of a blue to make it look like it had just rained, and I increased the clarity to make the droplets pop out.

I made this photo black and white, and increased the purples and oranges to make the edges darker.
