4/16/2017 0 Comments WeeK 11This week we started preparing our final landscape prints. A group of girls including me (the same who developed for the last phase) were all interested enough in the process to ask to be taught how to help people epoxy the photos. Apparently, since we're all SO intimidating to other people, nobody said anything about us helping UNTIL a photo was messed up. Then people realized that they should take responsibility of their photo because in the end it's their's, and if anyone is going to mess it up it should be the person who's photo it is (although hopefully nobody else photo gets messed up). After that situation, the six of us decided to let people take responsibility for themselves by choosing to step back and not help other people with their epoxy. • How does each part of the process change/involve light? Each part of the process is affected by light differently. The light source in the actual photographing affects all sorts of things like color value and quality, contrast, and exposure. The lighting also affects editing, because editing depends on the light in the photo. For example, if your photo is very under exposed, when editing you'll turn the exposure up or if your photo is not saturated enough for your liking you can turn it up to make the colors pop. The resin blocks the glare from direct lighting and also blocks harmful if lightning rays that cause photo fading. • Why is it important to frame and exhibit work? It's important because for lots of things. For example, it gives you opportunities to learn and experience how to present your work. It also give all kinds of people a chance to see the work and see what your capable of. Presenting beautiful work feels all sorts of lovely, because is shows that you're capable of doing fantastic things. — What role does each step play?
There's 4 steps to creating beautiful photos, each of which are very important. These are the 4 with explanations in why they matter 1. THE PHOTO The original photo matters because of it's not height quality to begin with, it never will be. You want to have the highest quality and most beautiful picture you can get. You want something that would be good without the next three steps but great with them. Everything from the framing, to the balence, to the contrast should be top notch. 2. PROCESSING IN PHOTOSHOP This is important to make sure your photo is in its best form before print. You want to make sure all he details are taken care of, so that it's smooth sailing from here. Honestly, after this step, the hard work is done. You want to make sure to De-noise the photo to get rid of any pixelation, and to make sure your saturation, contrast, vibrance, and brightness are what you want. Once that's done, you do the necessary editing for the metallic photo paper, which usually includes balencing the red in the photo and turning down the contrast. 3. METALLIC PHOTO PAPER This paper adds extra dimension and wow factor to your photo. The sheen of the paper makes the photo look more smooth and professional. It especially brings out bright colors and highlights, making them look brighter and clearer and overall nicer. The paper is kind of expensive, but it just give our photos another layer of beauty and uniqueness. 4. EPOXY TOP COAT Epoxy serves many purposes. It makes it look more clean and put together, as well as adds depth to he photo. It reduces glare and give more opportunity to see the photo as it truly is, and it resists sun damage. It's truly a perfect addition to our photos. Not only does it make the photo look even better, which is hard to do at that point, it gives the protects the photo and gives it longevity. This is a perfect selling point, but also it's good to have insurance that all the layers of hard work put into the photo will stick around.
