Pic in a Pic

To do this, I first did the inside with posterization and then the outside with desaturated solarization. These effects gave the photo a unique look and filter.This gave a special edge to the color and just overall provided Emphasis onto the Skittles. The effects were easy to do and I didn't have any trouble doing any of the picture work at all.

Solarization, Posterization, & Lithography


Going into this project, there were many different ideas I had, but these were the ones that survived the harsh test of time. I also decided the other ones didn't look good like these photos, which look great. The effects were no trouble, even though the settings for Lithography were really touchy. One wrong setting and it would not look as good as it does now.
With this one, I took a picture of my friend Stephen with a lamp turned on coming from the side. This gave a different in brightness as well as contrast and when it was Solarized, it ended up giving off plenty of Macky lines.
This one was taken with my dad's professional camera by me and I had my girlfriend model. I wanted an idea for Posterization and what better to make than something romantic!

This last one was taken of Stephen again on his board in the basement. In the backround, it's a little busy due to many objects and a lot of light from behind him, but the idea is there and it is original with the fact that you can see his face through the visor as well.
