Pop Art

This is a picture of my dad holding the trumpet. I changed the hue of the subject to around 77% and the cutout filter to 3 and paint bucketed the background. After that, I duplicated the picture and changed the background of each picture. Afterwards, I doubled the size of the canvas and duplicated the layer again, and then changed the background color.

Music Project

 This image shows my dad playing the trumpet. I chose this angle to show his focus on his performance. I used shadows, whites and contrast

 This is a close up of my dad hands playing the trumpet. This shows how he can express himself through the sound and melody that his fingers can create. I used a soft brush on the border, exposure and clarity.

 This shows how my dad takes his trumpet playing seriously. He is very proud of his trumpet career.
My edits were soft brush, blacks and contrast.

Underexposure

This underexposure is 2 steps down from having balanced exposure

This is one step down from having a balanced exposure.

Underexposure creates better contrast in the picture. It also makes the photos be more dramatic and have a better composition.

Text Warp

I used a gray metal gradient as the background. The opacity was 85% and I warped the word horizontally and bent it. I used an inner shadow, and an inner glow. My pattern overlay was at 78%. The word means x-ray in German
