Editing Film Photography

This is another of my film photos. I like the layout of the image because it was quite a deserted place and I feel the added touch of the two people walking in the middle makes it that more interesting. I subtly altered the levels within the photo using Photoshop, I feel that by using this simple changes it really livens up the image and adds more depth to the photo. 

Editing The Photo

After looking at the original photo for this I decided later that I would try to edit it. This was just to darken things up and to make it all more refined. I feel that by doing this it has made the image feel less calming than the original because the black is coming through more than before. 

Film Photography And Showing Emotion

This particular exposure I took with my film camera I thought was very subtle with showing its emotion. It was taken with the Pentax MV1 and shot with Ilford 400 black and white film. 

I thought about editing this photo but I liked how subtle the effect has. I would say it was quite a calming image where you can see the woman reading on the bench with the birds lingering behind even quite playfully. I like how the black and white photo isn't completely shown as black and white. It has a hint of red within it which gives it quite a warming feeling. I feel like if darkened it could easily be altered to look very dark as the birds and how its so deserted could effect the mood of this still image. 

Film Photography

A form of media that I really enjoy is film photography. I feel that the colours are more definitive than if you were to use a normal digital camera and you have a sense of old fashioned photography. This particular photo was taken on a Pentax MV1 using AGFA photo. I found through my experience with using this particular film that it works at its best inside so when I take photos outside they seem a little more washy than usual. Saying this however, it still does not stop me from loving film photography and the way the photos come out when developed are inspiring. 

This first photo was taken in Brussels in Belgium. I was in a park where I saw some interesting statues that looked weathered. This inspired me because also their positioning looked quite sad. I wanted to edit the photo to emphasis the sadness and despair within the exposure. 

I have placed the original exposure so I can compare the difference between the original and the edited photo. 

Culture and the media

Culture around us is changing drastically and this then changes the way we perceive things through art and graphic design. Technology is becoming more advanced so that everything is starting to be more accessible.
