Major 2-Final


I used the same main photo for both versions but tried to make them completely different. My theme was "What's on Your Mind?" I tried to think about the different types of things that my daughter and my husband think about.
My husband is going through a rough time right now. I found out I was pregnant in December and four weeks later he found out that the company he had worked for for 9 years was closing it's doors. He has so many worries concerning his job situation, bills, baby on the way, our relationship, etc. In the first image I retouched the skin on both subjects and adjusted the color balance with adding more green and cyan to make the picture sort of "dark and gloomy". I also used the fresco filter.
My daughter is 7 and knows no worries except whether to pack or buy her lunch at school. I also retouched and adjusted the color balance. With this image I used more yellow and red and it gave it a real bright and cheery feeling. For a filter, I used water paper.
Both images have "thoughts" surrounding the subjects. I used both scanned objects and objects captured with a camera.
