Connecting to a Place

 I took this photo at 7:00 on the hill behind my house as the sun was setting. To edit this, I increased the contrast to make the tree darker and increased the saturation and used the hue slider to make the colors of the photo more yellow. After that, I added a small amount of vignetting around the edges.
This photo represents the sense of sound. When I was up on the hill, the grass was moving in the wind and making rustling sounds. To edit this photo, I changed it to black and white and increased the contrast and made the lighter parts of the picture lighter. I then added some vignetting around the edges.
This photo represents the sense of sight. I really liked the texture on the tree, so I decided to get closer and take a picture. To edit this picture, I increased the saturation and added some yellow tones.
To edit this photo, I increased the contrast to make the tree darker. I also added some yellow tones to make the sky pop more. I also added some vignetting to move the focus onto the tree more.

Paper Project


To manipulate the paper, I crumpled it up into a ball and rolled it around in my hands to give it a softer texture. I then unfolded it and placed it on the ground and stood directly above it. I used light from a lamp in my home. In Lightroom, I turned it to black and white and upped the contrast to make the shadows that the paper made pop out. 


To manipulate this paper, i folded it like a fan and laid it over a black background out of paper. I used the light from a lamp in my house. in Lightroom, I upped the contrast and added some vignetting to add emphasis to the folded paper in the center.
