Similar to my work with refection from light, i looked at what affects i would get in my work if i held the panels/wallet prints directly under a spotlight?
I wanted to see how the light would merge into the image, would it disperse and become part of the image or would it be a very prominent part of the work its self?
I played around with taking photographs really close to the spotlight and then further away.
Notice how the image on the left is considerably darker than the one to the right? It was taken extremely close to the spotlight, meaning the light made the rest of the image appear to be a lot darker than it actually was. The image to the right was taken with the spotlight being considerably further away, the light is able to disperse across the image and brighten the whole thing.
These images lead me to do some experimental work in Photoshop. I looked at how i could change the way an image was viewed according on a specific light source.
I blurred a section of the image, to create the illusion of light and then used a tool called a 'dodge brush' to add extra light to the area.
Here is the end result. Do you think the tool has worked well to create the desired effect?
