Below is a tutorial I found on youtube that I found interesting regarding the different methods and ways of using Photoshop to turn a modern photo into an aged, antique or damaged photograph.

Colours and blending modes

Today I experimented with colours and blending modes as part of the daily challenges in photoshop

I first signed up for behance and clicked on this challenge.

I then opened photoshop and opened the image I wanted to manipulate.

I duplicated the layer then clicked file- place embedded and chose a skeleton image

I then used the quick selection tool and clicked select subject so it removed the background of that image

I placed the image on top the portrait and used transform to warp the image so it was in line with the eyes

I went to blending modes in the layer pallete and chose the lighten colour option for the skeleton image

I went down to adjustment layer and chose a colour fill for the background

I also adjusted the colour balance in the adjustment layers for a different look

Here is a link to the tutorial for this challenge

No access to the Adobe apps yet so just for fun have been using my phone filters on one of my victorian portraits.

Today in class we emulated our two portrait ideas using natural day light only. a camera, a tripod and a reflector. We made use of the college space both in and out of the studio location and used clothing and props to add to the effect of that era. I then optimised my images using Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop to increase the gradient, add sepia colour tone and vignette too.
