Final edits

This is one of my final images. It was inspired by Dirk Ercksen and is made up of three separate images- The head, the body, and the background.
To create the separated features, I used the lasso and magic want tools to select certain areas, then I copied and pasted it ever so slightly further away. After moving each body part I places the other background on a layer underneath and used the eraser tool to remove parts of the body that I didn't want seen and to show the background underneath. I replaced the original head with the screaming head of another image because I preferred the body position in one but the face in another. This was easy to do by using the magnetic lasso tool and copy and pasting it on.

This was what the image looked like before I put it back into raw editor and upped the clarity and adjusted the other levels.

 

This image and the one above are the two images I used to create the cut up body.










This is another one of my final images. When I've printed it off I'm going to stitch into it in the style of Maurizio Anzeri. All I've really done to this image is take it into the raw editor to alter the contrast, clarity, vibrance, shadows and other levels.

This is the original image.

I changed the colour of the hairband using the colour burn setting on the paint brush tool. The reason I did this is because my theme is red and blue, like veins. The dress matches this colour scheme but the green hairband didn't quite fit in my opinion. This is what the image looked like before I dodged and burnt areas of the background to brighten it up.



I tried it out in portrait to see how it looked but decided on leaving it landscape because it fit the rule of thirds better.

This is the last image I've edited for my final piece. It was inspired by 'The Son Of Man' by Rene Magritte. I created it using the lasso tool to select areas of the face which I then replaced with clouds from the background I took using the clone tool. This image almost has a fisheye effect to it because of how the horizon isn't completely straight but that was intentional and it makes the shot look pretty abstract.

The image before bringing it into raw editor for the last time.
