Photoshop Effects - CD Cover

For this project, I used two tutorials.

The Creating Glowing Sparks tutorial and the Adding Light Streaks To A Photo tutorial.

Photo Series and Artist Statement

My theme was nature.

I love taking photos of landscapes. So I decided to take a closer look at the environment and how people influence it like in the second and third picture.

Artist statement:
This quarter I have learned much about how to edit photos in Photoshop. It is amazing what a few effects or just adjusting the colors can do to a photo.

My goal for the future is to keep myself busy taking pictures and to use all I have learned in this class to make my photos even more successful.

My favorite subject matter is nature as you can see in the photos above.

I began to take photos when I was very young.

My mom showed me how to find the best perspective to make the photo look even better.

Color

For the first photo, I tried to create a contrast between the warmth of the red and the cold of the icicles.

The second photo transports warmth through the light.

The last photo seems a little bit cold but calming.

Surrealism

Goldsworthy imitations

For this project, I tried to copy Andy Goldsworthy's style as good as possible.

So I created circles and rounded shapes like he does in his work. The objects I used are all natural as well as the ones Goldsworthy is working with.
