Change

For the change assignment, I took a silhouette image of my neck, put it in photoshop, changed it to black and white, increased the contrast, then added doves of different shades of grey. Elements and principles used include line, shape, value, form, space, balance, contrast, movement, and pattern. Composition rules and techniques include rule of thirds, silhouette lighting, sharp focus, and low key lighting. In order to change and revise this photo, I had to delete all the doves that I had recently placed because instead of light to dark, I wanted the doves to be fading dark to light. This image represents change because the person seems to be fading out into birds. Doves, in fact, which represent innocence, purity, and love in spirit. If I could make this image stronger, I would make it more clear that there are doves in the lower area closer to the neck by making the doves more light.
