Final- Aja continuation

Self Perception: the way you see yourself makes you into the person you are. See yourself in a positive light and destroy whatever bad perception you have.

"Nice to meet you"

Things you may not know about people when you meet them.

Texas Night Scape

Roof top of a suite in San Antonio Texas. Clarity up to 100 and lowered the highlights.

Texas wedding reception. Bluish tint preset, boosted the clarity and enhanced the shadows.

Shutter speed on 30'. Heart was made with a flashlight that I covered with red tissue paper. I used a preset in lightroom that brought out the stars and the purple colors. I also enhanced clarity.

San Antonio river walk, clarity up to 100 and light vignette.

Surrealism

 I took this photo up at fish ranch and like the lights in the back, it looks as if the city is on fire. I added the photo of the statue to the sign because it clashes with the theme. I took the photo of the statue at the De Young, the message is city/graffiti meets sophistication.

The movement of the backflip in the photo and the thought of him being struck by lightening is very surreal. I used photoshop to add the guy to the photo. The message of this photo is chaos.

The middle was taken at the beach and I like how it contrasts with the color of the flower. I used the circle tool and added it to the center of the flower. This photo shows freedom and fun in a surreal way.

Homeless

This is one of my favorite photos because a resident of people's park is standing right in the center of mural. I bumped up the dark tones, clarity, and highlight recovery. I lowered the highlight hue to make the photo almost black and white but not quite all the way.

This photo was inspired by the photographer who takes pictures of the homeless, I used his black and white technique and sharpened the picture. I like the way it makes the man's skin stand out and makes him appear more aged. I used BW high contrast. Then bumped up the clarity, contrast, fill light, and recovery. I also added a slight vignette.

This photo was taken on Christmas and totally captures the reality of this man's Christmas morning. I used the BW effect then I bumped the highlight recovery, clarity, and some fill light.

For this photo I used cold tone. I bumped up the brightness, fill light, and highlight recovery. I feel like these effects compliment the man in this photo very well. I like the aged look in his face and the sharpness of his face, he was also a pleasure to meet. 

This photo has the most color because the colors in this photo were all so beautiful. I used creative selenium tone and bumped up the contrast. I like the side profile because it leaves some curiosity and a story to be told.

For this photo I used cold tone, bumped up highlight tones, vibrancy, clarity, contrast, and brightness. I love how McDonalds just happens to be in the background of the subject and shows a huge comparison of lifestyles.
