Phototshop Overlays



This collection of images were originally created as a response to a recent visit to Sheffield. The photographic observations taken around the city proved to be plain and uninspired. It was not until they were placed into Photoshop (elements 9) that they began to make sense as I took the idea of combining a series of photo’s which represent a journey and combine them together to become a journey in themselves. Through layering and adjusting the opacity of each layer, the images reflect the hustle and bustle of a diverse and complex modern city. Furthering this idea through the manipulation of contrast and colour balance only adds to the intensity of each image and its connection to the city experience. Using these initial responses as I spring board, I was able to experiment with the overlaying of images using photography from my recent holiday to Austria. Similarly to the Sheffield responses, the manipulation of these images create interesting contrasts between the objects within the scene furethemore aiding the nostalgic feeling of the images.
