Learning the Photoshop

This is an exercise we did in class to show what we've learned in Photoshop. I took the two pictures I didn't use for the project and put them together.

This is the picture I've decided to use for my first project. I'm going to change it to look different then how it looks now. I'm going to clean up the wall behind the figure. Maybe take out the little bit of golden blanket on the bed. I'm really nervous because I've never really used Photoshop before. I'm thinking about using extreme light that would show off the pizza box either from the right of the picture of the box would give off the light. I want to change the background possible but I'm not sure to what exactly yet.

Artists

Gregory Crewdson
I like how his images seem like paintings but are actually photographs with his painting on top. The pictures are very dark and surreal. The figures are creepy and distant from each other.

Teun Hocks
Hocks work is amusing and his process are interesting. He paints the background and paints highlights on the photographs. The figure never gives you a sad feeling, instead it's like a connection.

Jeff Wall
Has very interesting pictures, very minor changes were done. His pictures have very neutral coloring and rare bright colors as well.

Cindy Sherman
I love how she dresses up and becomes part of the scene. She uses a variety of angles and color styles making each one of her pictures very different.
