My Plan: For this assignment I wanted to destroy some old makeup and possibly work with spot color when editing
My New Photos:
For this shoot I collected some of my old makeup products that I didn’t mind destroying. I had my mom break and smash the few products on to a paper towel while I took photos. When taking the photos I had to really focus on the movement of my mom pressing the makeup on the hard surface and when she was dragging the tweezers through the eye shadow in order to get some good photos. I believe this shoot was successful because I was able to get some “action” photos and then at the end get some shots of all the destroyed makeup together.
My Edits:
I wanted to stick to my editing ideas of black and white but also wanted to work with some spot color. When editing the two end photos I selected the colored areas and turned up the saturation and vibrance. Then inversed my selection in order to make the background black and white. I wanted to go for a more vintage look with these photos and tried to create an older photo feel to really enhance the colored areas. I am proud with how these edits all came out but there could be room for minor improvements.
