forced Perspective

I used a fill layer to make the "walls" look different from the "Floor". I think it was a bit messy and hard to make that look natural. Then in the head stand one i think the door way in the back gives it away but i think it looks better and you get the effect when you first look at it.

Color

I made a green monochromatic color based photo and a blue/orange complimentary color photo. I added a few fill layers to alter the colors. I also used a gausian blur in the green photo to have a shallow depth of field effect.

Color Meaning and Mood

Color meanings found here

Green: Aspiring, comfortable, harmonizing, relaxed, natural etc...

Blue: caring, contemplative, deep, good, intelligent, perceptive, reflective etc...

I used these colors because it helped symbolize the setting and the subject. Althoght there is not a lot of blue in the image, it symbolizes things that represent the subject so i decided to emphasize the eyes in blue.

Double imaged gradient map photos

I used the gradient map in my layer mask to only show part of the photo that was layed on top of an original photo. I think this is a fun concept and it can show consecutive ideas through multiple pictures.

Gradient Map

In the less saturated picture I used a gradient map with a decreased opacity and a blending mode change. In the more saturated picture I used a different gradient map with a higher opacity. I think gradient maps are a good way to alter colors and make pictures look more interesting.

Solarization

Black and White Solarization, Possitive Solarization, and negative solarization with a layer mask

High contrast color, Vintage, & Pictorialism

I altered the same photo in 3 different ways; Hight contrast color, vintage, and pictorialism. My favorite is Vintage, probably because that is how i have edited my photos more in the past.
