The Original Photo

See? Lots of change indeed.  I actually really like the red in the original. It's like a "power color". I may attempt working with more warm colors instead of my other color scheme.

Abstract Color...Work in Progress

Hey guys!
This is so exciting doing my first blog post ever! This as of right now is my "Work in Progress" piece for our Abstract Color assignment. I'm really enjoying just getting to play around with photoshop to see what kind of creative things I can do with color. It's actually helping me learn even more than I thought I would.  This was from a shoot I did of my roommate Carly.  Upon going through my recent photographs looking for inspiration for this project, I always kept coming back to this one.  There's an intensity about her gesture and facial expression that I absolutely love!  I was hoping to work with the color to enhance this powerful yet slightly tense feeling that I got from the original photo.  I'll post that one as well so you can see the difference! I hope to work with a mixing brush or use the normal brush to add in some more color in places.  Maybe that will lead me to more discoveries.  I'll keep experimenting :)
