The message I tried to convey through this picture is one of whimsy. I tried to create a very dream-like portrait with my friend looking out of frame of the photo. I tried to convey the image of dreaming and thinking of the future through this photo. To make this image happen, I made my friend sit in front of my garage door and hold as still as possible. Then, my friend's younger sister drew out the word "dream" above her head using finger lights. While this was happening, another friend of mine drew up and down with a regular flashlight on my friend's body, thus illuminating only her. To edit this picture, I used the brush tool in Lightroom to lower the exposure in the background and to raise it on my friend's body. I also reduced the noise and increased the sharpness of the image.
The message I tried to convey with this photo was that we often have very expressive and extensive thoughts despite our calm quiet exteriors. I wanted to show the excitement and energy of people's minds in contrast to a calm exterior. To make this image happen, I had my friend sit in front of my garage and told her to sit as still as possible and cover her face with her hands. Then, I told my friend's younger sister to create a "V" shape with a light wand and then do her best to color it in. I told my other friend to draw up and down on her body using a regular flashlight. To edit this picture, I used the brush tool in Lightroom to increase the exposure on just my friend. I also used it to even out the exposure on the background of the photo. I also increased the sharpness of the image.
