How can I modify color to create a more dramatic photo?
This ease of digital photography capturing our world in color opened up unlimited possibilities to manipulate this color captured. This ease of color manipulation is one thing I focused on in my investigation I focused on altering the color of the sky new colors(5, 8, 9,10), altering the overall color temperature (1,3,12), desaturating the color to bring out the drama in black and white (6,13), as well as selectively alternating the color of specific parts of images whether it is increasing saturation or vibrancy or reducing it to make the photo more unique and dramatic (2,7,11,14). However one of my favorite techniques that was made possible by digital photography is computer-created artworks such as double exposure (15). This color manipulation in every photo was a deliberate process of trial and error, every photo in this portfolio is not the first edit but rather a culmination of multiple versions and alternative ideas for each photo combined to make what is in the above portfolio. Overall, throughout my investigation, I was able to deliberately edit and manipulate the color of photos in different ways to create drama.
