Midterm

In this picture, the manikin is in a pose reminiscent of Singing in the Rain. I used an adjustment layer mask to brighten the entire manikin because the image is overexposed in certain areas. The shadow was created by duplicating the manikin, filling it black, and distorting it. I used the dodge and burn effects to give the manikin depth.



This image was taken in front of the social sciences building. Because the traffic cones were originally bright orange, I decreased their saturation. The shadow was created by duplicating the manikin and filling it black. It was then distorted and transformed so that it matched the shadows of the traffic cones. The opacity was decreased and a Gaussian blur effect was added. Dodge and burn tools were used to give the manikin depth.

In this image, I decided to take a picture of the purple pixel and placed the manikin (in a pondering pose) in front of the pixel. The manikin's shadow was created by duplicating the original image and filling it black. I then used the transform tool to distort the shadow and position it at the manikin's feet. I also decreased the opacity and added a Gaussian blur. The shadow mimics the pixel's shadow due to light coming from the right side of the image. The manikin's reflection was a separate picture of the manikin. It was incorporated into the image and the lower torso was removed. The reflection was distorted slightly to give it a rounded look and lastly, the opacity was decreased.
