So here are the photoshoped version to bring in the mood:


Lonely, Solitude

- Wanted to use the footprints to signify a person walking the path alone, and thus evoke the feeling of lonely and solitude
- Used photoshop to remove the colors - black and white it, then adjusted the curves and added on a spherical black and grey gradient to give it more tones

Class Critique:
- looks nice, as if it is on cement
- feels more like progression than loneliness because of the footsteps progressing towards the viewer



Calm, Tranquil

- Chose the photo where the waves are retreating back into the sea to portray the calmness and tranquility
- Removed all the people at the background except those people under the tree, which is away from focus and thus not violate the rules for the assignment
- Enhanced the colors to make things more intense and warmer with emphasis on depth

Class Critique:
- Need to be more orange to show more warmth


Progression, Advancing

- Wanted to keep the focus on the phone booth, something that the world has forgotten about it with the invention of mobile phone
- So I remove the colors of the phonebook, signifying it degrading and forgotten
- Wanted to add like black horizontal lines to make as if it is disappearing, but didn't know how to make it look that so I just keep it like for for class

Class Critique:
- Potential photo, probably need to remove the tree
- The phonebooth doesn't look like it is black, looks out of focus

Retakes:
After the feedbacks I decided to change the concept for the lonely into progression because it does seem to fit into advancing and progression more. Then I decided to retake photos for the negative mood. So I went around to find loneliness, chaos, mess, disorder etc. And here are what I have as retakes for abandoned and mess. Look out for the edited version in blog post: final portfolio.
