My Abstract:
My portfolio of photos is a series of images taken during my 2-week vacation in Italy this past August. I visited Rome, Florence, Pisa, and Venice and throughout my trip there were various abstract landscapes and beautiful landscaping that made amazing artwork in person and in photographs. After looking over the photos that I had taken throughout the two weeks of being in Europe I realized that while they were great shots of all the sites we visited, they weren’t the exact quality of the reality of the imagery.
When I was given the opportunity to create a portfolio of photoshopped images of a group of pictures, I knew I wanted to create a group of edited photos of pertaining to my trip to Italy. The photographs had a lot of potential just from the start, but they needed some work to either make them more dramatic looking, enhance the beautiful colors of the landscaping, or to give it a more unrealistic tone. Europe is full of wonderful coloring and insanely beautiful scenery that it is hard to show the real-life view of it through a photograph. Through the use of PhotoShop it becomes slightly easier to enhance the images in order to alter the pictures to make them look as if you are viewing them in a different way.
When looking through all the 300 photos I took on my trip there was certain scenery photos that I remember taking, but I felt as if the actual photograph that I took does not give the actual location justice. The photos I took I feel are nicely shot, but the way the tones and other aspects of the photo came out does not show the extremity of what I saw in person. Through this project I took to editing these photos in various ways to create a new way of looking at the original photos taken.
