Steve Brydzinski - Crit 2 - Recipe

POW#4

Techniques: Throughout this process of shooting in color for crit 2, I realized how much more I enjoy B&W.  Regardless, the task was to shoot in color, and so I did.  I found myself more attracted to blown out colors and contrasty/vivid images.  Therefore, my collection of images all used an app or two with filters and fx that each one offered.  The three main apps that I use are photoshop mobile,  facetune, and a new one that I tried out called Mobli (It has unique adjustable filters that are unlike most that Ive seen so far).  My shots consisted of using different angles and perspectives, taking advantage of natural lighting as well as artificial lighting, Depth of view, and app editing with filters and Fx.


Strategies: My strategies were pretty simple.  I wanted to make the things I love to do, and what makes me happy – stand out in a new way.  Take what I know and love, and make it seem new and different.  I really think Depth of view and lighting played a big part in that, and then the colors and contrast were all edited to achieve the look I was interested in. 

In regards to what I actually did for my POW#4:
1)    Opened photo in photoshop app
2)    Upped the vibrant and contrast fx to make a deep dark and and vivid effect.
3)    Save the photo.
4)    Open that new saved photo in facetune
5)    Go to filters.
6)    Go to lighting > darken > adjust to 65%
7)    Save photo to library > Wallaahhh.  Done.
