PART 3

For the third part of this mini breif we had combine two of our own images using some form of digital post production. The techniques i decided to use in both my final pieces for this part were cutting and layering. Here is how i did the first one.
The two images i decided to use were as follows.



First of all i opened the shot of me on the steps in photoshop, i then cut me out of the shot using the lasoo tool and pressed cut, leaving esentialy a white silouhet of me on the steps.


Now i quite like this image just like this but the breif states that it must be a combination of 2 images. So i got to thinking that maybe a bit of sky where my cut out is would be nice. So i layered the other image behind this one in the same way i've done all my others in this brief. This time i used a different blend on the layer and went for Hard Light which made the clouds come through real nice. Here is the finished article.


The second image i created in this mini brief is in my opinion the best image i have created in this brief and was achieved in pretty much the same way as the one above. The only difference is that i had to increase the canvas size and i also chose a different blend in the layering process, i chose Overlay. Anyway here are the two origional images.



The image you can see of me against the wall is actually from my studio project but i really like those images and wanted to work with them. As i said it's pretty much the same idea as the last one, here is the shot with me cut out of it.


Again i quite like it this but this one looks pretty good layered as well. Here is the final final image with the other image layered into it.


All of these images have at somepoint undergone some sort of colour and tone alteration in light room, all of this was done before the i started manipulating them.
One thing that i will take away from this little project is that i now know what i am going to do for my final images in the Digital Post Production module. Considering that i am so happy with the outcome of these last two images i thought i would continue with the theme of cutting myself out of images.
