This photo is another from my shoot of a beach in Devon, the day where the beach quickly turned from a bright sunny day to a dark cloudy scene. This was about half an hour before the storm began, this side of the beach was empty and here I've used a low saturation and hue, combined with a slight HDR effect to create a very dark and gloomy atmosphere. |
This is from a different beach in Devon, this really highlights the impact that post-production can have on an image, as before I applied these effects it was quite a bright, sunny atmosphere. I love this photo due it's very distinctive, old-timey feel as well as having a very unique mood and atmosphere. As my focus point was mood and atmosphere, I utilized the Black & White effect many times throughout my work, in photos in which I thought it was appropriate to create a deep and strong atmosphere in all of these pictures and we can see it turned out very well. There was also some images were I felt complete loss of color wasn’t fitting, however reducing the contrast and vibrance brought better results. |
