Photo manipulation (also called photoshopping or before the rise of - - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Photo manipulation (also called photoshopping or— before the rise of Photoshop software—airbrushing) is the application of image editing techniques to photographs in

• rder to create an illusion or deception (in contrast to

mere enhancement or correction) after the original photographing took place.

’’I’m a photographer and retouch artist from Sweden. I use photography as a way of collecting material to realize the ideas in my mind.’’

Erik Johansson

His work gives me so much inspiration all of them are incredibly beautiful. I would try to do something different but similar. I think that he uses so many layers to create one picture , because when I look at his work it looks weird , but beautiful and also difficult to do . I can’t even know how he could create

• ne of the pictures and where did he take the inspiration from . He’s work is

completely different from the other artists that’s why I like it the most . My favourite picture of those 4 is the last one . Looks like a something from Imagination .. or maybe it looks like a dream , I don’t really know but I can guess what it can be . I really like the colours , the picture is half cold and half warm . the one on the left side describes warmess coming home . I’m pretty sure that I’ll follow his work , because this is kind of my style and what I like doing in my free time .

1. Christophe Gilbert As a self-described detail-maniac freak, Christophe Gilbert truly believe that small details can make a huge difference. Looking through his amazing portfolio of work, we're left speechless by the way he can manipulate liquids like paint and water. Wonderfully witty as well as sexy and cool, Gilbert's work rises above the rest with its distinct and clever style. Christophe's impressive client list includes Mercedes, Toyota, Ford, Playstation, and LG Electronics among others.

And here are 6 more photo manipulation artists which I Have chosen

One of his pictures which I like the most is this one :

I like this picture and I think it’s quiet cool . I think that the photograph took just one picture of the girl in the bath and then made her hands longer so this cover up the bath .

• 2. Riccardo Bagnoli

Riccardo Bagnoli is an Italian photographer based in Boston, Massachusetts. Specializing in advertising, fashion and portrait photography, Bagnoli knows how to create highly imaginative stories in a wide range of styles. Bagnoli's photos almost look like moments from a sci-fi movie, where humans are born from reptilian eggs and where startling superpowers are revealed. The one of my favourite pictures is : I think that he took about 3 pictures

• ne of the landscape , the second
• ne of the women and the third

picture that he used to made this photo manipulation was of eggs .

hilarious expressions of their subjects. My favourite picture : I like this picture is quiet interesting , the photograph took

• ne picture of the two man in the

studio and a picture of the dog . He also used the picture with the sky to make the effect .

My first plan will be about the first photo manipulation that I’m going to create . I would like to create the effect like this one but , make it look like the person is in heaven ‘ death ‘ this is going to be really hard but also interesting here are some photos how it would look I would like to make it similar but different . I would also try to create the wings for the person that I’m going to use in my photo manipulation

PLAN FOR MY FIRST PHOTO MANIPULATION.

As you can see this picture is really really interesting , it’s something different from others work . I have chosen this picture because it catches my eye the most . This is something what everyone knows but what haven’t ever seen it . People are talking about death but Don’t know how it looks that’s why I have taken this topic . I would have to get some skills about this photo manipulation try different tips and create different effects . An angel is a symbol of a peace . What I would copy from this picture ? Are the wings . I like them the most ,they make this picture interesting.

What Do I like the most in this picture ?

Shutter speed – 1/125 ISO- 200 / 400 Aperture – 2.8 LOCATION : POLAND / little lake I already have taken this picture , in Poland during the holiday . So I decided to use it in my first photo manipulation . I’ve planed to use a different picture but I thought that I would try to use this one first and if that wouldn’t work take another one .

SOME INFORMATION

My second plan will be about ZOMBIE . What I would like to do , is to create the zombie effect . I would take some photos of my sister , and then manipulate the picture in Photoshop to make her look scary as a zombie .

Plan for the second photo manipulation

I would also practice before I’ll be doing it , try to find different zombie effects and get some more information from YouTube , and Google . That should help me also in Photoshop . I should also have a good lighting to take the picture .I don’t want it to be dark or really bright . This girl in the picture has really weird kind of skin made in Photoshop. I would try to do different kind of skin more lighter and I would also try to use green colour as it reminds me a zombie .

Eyes are the most interesting for me in this picture they catch the eye , and concentrate the whole picture on them . I would try to do the same eyes but a bit different , I would also try to do different colours . The photo will be taken in my house . I would try to take some photos of my sister , but I would also think about the background , it shouldn’t include any images . Shutter speed – 1/125 ISO- 200 / 400 Aperture – haven’t decided yet .

INFORMATION

The last plan will be about the bottle and a sea . I would like to take a photo

• f the Bottle and then of the sea , and next what I’m going to do is to put the

sea inside the photo .

My third plan for photo manipulation

I have chosen this photo manipulation because once I’ve been on holiday in Poland and have seen a man who was selling something like that , there was a ship inside the Bottle and sand . I still have this bottle in my mind , so I decided to create something similar but something what would include the sea inside . I would take a picture of the bottle on the clear background , and take a picture of the sea , then try to put the picture of the sea inside the bottle so that would look like there’s a sea inside .

Shutter speed – 1/500 ISO – 200 Aperture – 2.8 LOCATION : BOSCOMBE PIER . I will have to catch the waves on the sea by using my camera but I don’t want them to be blurred , so I will have to use the higher shutter speed .

SOME INFROMATON

I actually have done 2 photo manipulations as I’m really proud of them both . The first one is an angel in heaven , he’s in a different world . I have used a picture of my boyfriend and took a picture of the sky from Google .

My photo Manipulations .

Shoot evaluation of this photo manipulation I really enjoyed this photo manipulation as I wasn’t bored . I’ve played around with the effects , then I’ve changed the picture to black & white , and later I add some colours on the clouds , as I thought that wouldn’t be that boring . I ‘ve taken 2 pictures from Google images , one was the sky it helped me to create the background and the second one wings that I have used to make my model as an angel . I have sharpen some parts of the body just to highlight the person , and focus on the person , because is the most important in this picture . I like this photo manipulation the most of these 2 because it looks really delicate , and includes my favourites colours . I also can say that I expect that It would look that good , I’ve done it

• n my own Photoshop and it took me about 2 h but I’m really

happy of what I’ve done .

And the second one is my sister. I took a photo of her and made a zombie effect in photoshop . I also have used 2 pictures from Google images . To make the background looks more interesting and also her skin .

Shoot Evaluation of this photo manipulation This picture was harder than the first one because I have done lots of job in it . I’ve taken 2 pictures from Google images , the first one presents the forest and the second one crushed grout . From these 2 pictures I’ve made the background and a skin effect . I also have darken her forehead , body and background to make it scary . I have played around with the eyes , I didn’t know what colour to choose as I stayed by red . I’m really proud of this picture as I can say that I didn’t know that I would create something like that . I had lots of fun by doing this photo manipulation , tried different effects but this

• ne was the best looking for me , it went as I planned and I

also didn't have any problems or complications . It looks scary and also interesting .

I found a Photoshop really difficult at the beginning but after some time I have learnt lots of interesting things . I really enjoyed photo manipulations . I would like to describe what I have learnt from this process and say what was the most difficult for me . So the first thing that I have learnt by doing photo manipulation was how to paste the picture and use a rubber to make a nice effect in the picture . I’ve

• pened the picture in Photoshop and then drag it to my photograph then I

transformed it and made it smaller or bigger . After this I have changed the picture to multiply and used a rubber to erase the unuseful elements .

Methods In Photoshop

The second thing that I’ve learnt was How I can use the table with tools in my photo manipulation . I found it really easy . I knew what are they for but I didn’t know when I should use them . Now I’ve found them really useful . Clone stamp tool – I have used this tool so many times , for example where I was doing my first photo manipulation . I have used this to clone the little part of wings , because some of them were transparent. Sharpen Tool – I was using this tool really often as well as I highlighted the little parts , for example eyes to make them more visible and interesting .

Second method

What worked well ? And what could be improved ? I would say that I’m really proud of my photo manipulations , and I wouldn’t change anything , of course there are some little elements that could be improved for example In the photo manipulation of the zombie the grout has some little elements that I could remove . I my first photo manipulation I could try to play a bit around with the wings , they could be different , and I don’t like the shape of them . The rest of the elements included in my photo manipulations are good , I won’t say anything what would be bad , because I really like them .

My Opinion

* Whole project Evaluation

The original purpose of this project was to show my work in a different way , get some new ideas and also information and create something amazing .This project was my favourite one , from this term . I really enjoyed doing photo manipulations . I think that I have learnt a lot from this project , how to create new stuff , also how to use the imaginary. My ideas didn’t change through the process , and what I can say is that I’m really happy of what I have finished in this unit . I really like my work and I also didn’t know that I could create something like that . The hardest thing was Photoshop . I have found some information on Google , YouTube and different websites . I did everything step by step as know I still remember everything . I think that now I can experiment a little bit with the Photoshop create also new images and photo manipulations. Is not that difficult as I thought . I was trying to don’t copy any projects from Google or other stuff I just wanted to create something what could be my own idea . I did it , so I’m also happy , because I haven’t seen anyone who could have the same photo manipulation as mine .I wanted to show something what isn't realistic , I just wanted to be something what would catch the eye . That wasn’t really difficult because I had a hounded ideas per minute . The most difficult thing was to choose the topic as I had some many of them in my mind . These 2 photo manipulations are quiet different from each other because I have chosen 2 different topics . I also decided to use different colours in each photo manipulation . The first

• ne was in quiet soft colours : blue , purple , white .. I wanted this picture to be more

in magic colours , because angles are actually invisible so I wanted to show this picture in a good way . Everyone’s imaginary about haven is shown as a magic world , so I decided to use this tip in my work . the other picture was creepy completely different from the first one . I have used strong colours such was red , dark green and

• etc. I get a picture of the scary forest from the Google and used it as my background .

This background brings a creepy looking so I really liked it . I have also used vignette effect so it made it darker and more interesting .

At least I would like to show you my own photo manipulation that I have done in my free time .
