Photoshop Inquiry Assignment


Soliders from the Civil War united with what appears to be a friendly Native American, can take place with using the proper tools found within Photoshop . I chose these two pictures and brought them together due to the fact that Iam somewhat fascinated with native americans and their culture and with the information given to me about them I can say that they are deeply associated in war. With bringing these two images together I used the Native American photograph as the base and added the two soliders into the photograph by using Photoshop. With the lazer tool I was able to completely outline the two soliders and transfer the outlined soliders as a solid image onto the image of the native american man and save it a one full image. Photoshop is great and Iam glad I get to work with it.

Studio Lighting

Within these four images there shows a model shown in studio lighting, but to choose one to critique I would have to towards your attention to the image that is shown second. To describe this photograph I can say that the model is place the majority of the center but still retains a bit to the right. The model is shown with a white flower behind her left ear which shows contrast with her dark hair. Also as her appearance she is dressed in a white v-neck shirt and is wearing a gold necklace. Being the main focus of the entire picture the models gives an expression which portrays seduction and interest in a way. In another way the model can give off a sense of purity and innocence. With taking this photo the message that comes from it is an intense stare which can lead either way of innocence or seduction. How the lighting is set up in this image really compliments the model's outer and inner beauty. As for the print, the shades from black to white do not seem to separate themselves from one another. The whites are seen as shades of gray, however after printing this image numerous times I found that leaving the tones in a such such of this gives the picture what is needed and makes it serene.
