Final pieces



For this photo, I used the levels to make the image darker whilst adjusting the contrast and colour balance. I overlayed text over the top with the blending option multiply such as words like "not pretty enough" and "not good enough". The saturation of the image has been increased allowing the colours to look grungey and very contrasted. I felt this final piece went successful as I wanted to capture the ''truth'' of feelings. Also I linked this to the use of makeup and how it affects some women, having to ''hide '' their true identity.

My other final piece I have used the projector to display the text onto the models body. For this experiment I arranged words together such as ''not good enough'', ''Too thin'', ''Too fat''. I wanted to display the words onto her body because they are like her feelings. Instead of feelings on the inside and people looking ''normal'' to the public. I wanted the text shown on her body to express true feelings. In terms of editing I adjusted the levels and playing with the curves. I also turned it into black and white allowing the text to become more prominent against the black. I also like how it looks like her silhouette and how the text shape her body.
