Hands

This project is called Hands. Throughout the process of brainstorming the ideas for the project and editing, I came up with serval ideas I like, for example, my first idea was to do selective color on hands, but later on, I choose to do a montage image, because I would like to spend more time in Photoshop rather than taking a good raw picture. The subject of this image, is obviously my hand, and I used my hand to replace my head, and I also add my face on it, overall it seems like realistic because of the lighting, but it is also surrealism because my head is replaced by hands. I think the project standouts the subject of hands and I found a creative way to express the topic of Hands. The composition skills that I have used are close distances, and maybe debatably silhouette, and the editing took me a lot of time, at first I had to take a picture of my face, and a picture of my hands, and a picture of me standing next to the wall. First I had to crop my face out, and I had to erase my head in the wall by stamp tool, and I and I had to put my hands on it, make sure it fits on the neck, and I had to make sure the color fits right and I had to add my face on it. One challenge I face is when I try to mix the hand and the neck, the color wouldn't fit, I solved it by adapting color in photoshop. From this project, I learned how to incorporate the color and position of the image using lighting and editing.
