In my Digital Photography class, I have been using Photoshop to edit my photos that I have taken. I am currently on Chapter 6, lesson 5, page 6-23. Here I learned how to add the Bevel and Emboss style with the Layer menu and Modify Bevel and Emboss settings and appy 3D Extrusion.
Here, I took a portrait of my dear friend Kelly. Portraits focus on a person or group of people that displays the expression, personality, and mood of the subject. The model in this picture conveys a sense of bliss, as she is laughing. Reasoning for not having the photograph in color is simply because I want to viewer to have no distractions in order to capture the pure happiness. Having black and white also allows the viewer to have admiration for the photograph, as we live in a world filled with color; we see in color and when we see a black and white photograph, so it captivates the black and white causes a switcheroo to the eye. The strong contrasts to the subtlety tones display all the expression and mood that was meant to be portrayed in the photograph, while color would cause distraction.
