Photoshop Workshop

The natural and stylized photos were edited using photoshop tools such as color balance, levels, brightness, contrast, dodging, blurring and layering. 

The first stylized photo highlights the doll in a warm light, starkly contrasted against the dark background. Meanwhile, the human subject is cast in a softer light, blending more with the background. This juxtaposition is meant to portray the doll as an alter-ego of sorts.

The second stylized photo overwhelms the subject in blue light. The background is completely darkened in order to mimic an abyss. As such, the subject is contoured by darkness, standing out to us more clearly. This dramatic play on blue and black mirrors the emotions visible in the subject's facial expression.
