Contact Sheet Edit

Here is a photograph I edited for my Contact Sheets coursework two as part of the Visual Literacy Module.

Here you can see I have DE-saturated the entire picture and outlined and brought attention to the careless bits on a shoe. Normally not many people would instantly notice the laces but I have intentionally manipulated the picture to adjust the levels and concentrate a certain colour to show a specific side of a picture and have shown how different colours, perspective and composition can obtain the viewers attention.

This photograph not only shows and outlines what the artist wants the viewer to concentrate on see the subject from a perspective to take notes on the different elements of the picture, the artist can also hide the values of the picture/photograph and the specific details which the artist doesn’t want the viewer to take note of or doesn’t want the artist to instantly realize the other less important features of the photograph, e.g. where this photograph was taken, where the shoes are placed on etc.
