For this project, we were assigned to take a plethora of images, yet choose only five of which to edit in photoshop. These five images had to be portraits, meaning of a person, and they had to follow the rule of thirds. My five photos meet all of the given criteria. On the right hand column, you will see the photos before editing, and on the left you will see photos after put into photoshop. In this program, we choose which area we wanted to keep in color, and those where we wanted to keep black and white. I chose to keep the areas that I did in color because I believed that it truly made the subject in the photo pop. It makes it feel as though there are two different layers to the photo. The top layer being the subject and the back layer being the back round.
