In this project, my sister and I had to take pictures at our kitchen table, and we had to tell a story using props. We did this project with goals to replicate Carrier May Weems. Carrie May Weems took pictures at her kitchen table reviving important memories that happened there. We also tried to replicate Justin Bettman and his pictures that he took. Justin took pictures by having a set in the street, but when he took a picture, it was like they were inside a house.
After we took our pictures, we used Photoshop to make it look more realistic and we made the picture black and white. First, we had to use the elliptical marque tool to select the space we want to modify. Then, we modify it and feather it o we can change the lighting in specific places to make it look like the light from the lamp is realistic. Finally, we use the curve layer to change the lighting of the lamp. If I had to choose a place to tell my family’s story, I would choose Krispy Kreme, because after every doctors appointment one of our family members have, we always go to Krispy Kremes together, and we don’t think about the bad things, we just have a good time while eating the most delicious thing in the world. Donuts. You can see the rest of my photos HERE.
