This project was based on pictures taken by Justin Bettman who creates scenes in the middle of a public space that doesn’t match the public area. We took pictures in this scene in the middle of an open area in the front of our school. Then we edited our pictures to make them look similar to Carrie Mae Weems’ work . To edit our pictures we used Photoshop. In Photoshop we used the marquee tool to make the shape of the darkened, shadow part of our photos. Then to adjust the darkness on the shadow part we used the black and white graph tool. If I were to capture my family’s story in a place it would be in my family’s living room because we spend most of our time in the living work either watching tv, doing work, sleeping, eating, etc. . You would see our tv, couch, coffee table, fish tank, our fire place and a couple of blankets and pillows.
