Original

    1.      .2

   3.      .4

   5.      .6

Program Used: Photoshop CS4

1. I kept this simple - Black & White. But I added more contrast to the photo and make the blacks darker so they would stand out, and the whites even whiter. This photo came out pretty well.

2. Compared to the Original, the tone of this image is much more balanced. I also find that it makes the background nicer to look at since everything is a bit more balanced.

3. In this photo, I tried something called “Posterization” with Photoshop – it makes the photo look less real and more illustrated, but I think it probably would have been matter if I hyped it up a bit more since it still looks more like a photo.

4. I played around with the colors in this image a lot, and changed the phone. I find it would look better if I made the lights from the door stand out less.

5. In this imaged, I hyped up the image to its maximum contrast because it looked interesting – the only probably is that is you didn’t know what the original photo looked like, you mind have a hard time figuring out what it is.  

6. I tried to make the doors in the background stand out more than the foreground; and by doing so, I modified everything besides the doors in black and white, then hyped up the colors of the door. I also added some color to the blacks just so it wouldn’t seem like another black and white photo.
