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.
