Man Ray

Man Ray

Man Ray (born Emmanuel Radnitzky, August 27, 1890 – November 18, 1976) was an American visual artist who spent most of his career in France. He was a significant contributor to the Dada and surrealism movements, although his ties to each were informal. He produced major works in a variety of media but considered himself a painter above all. He was best known for his photography, and he was a renowned fashion and portrait photographer. Man Ray is also noted for his work with photograms, which he called "rayographs" in reference to himself .                                                       

This photoshoot I did is inspired by photographer Man Ray. 

Firstly I adjusted the levels in Photoshop. I then added a black and white filter whilst playing with the colours to make it have more depth and tone to it. 

After changing it to black and white, I then added an orange toned photo filter, this makes it look nostalgic and really allows the shadows and tones on the image to be picked up.
