About the Image(s)
Recently I was taking photos at a Fair of people acting out in costumes from the 1400’s to 1600’s. I captured this lady acting in “MIME” with no spoken words. Her costume and body paint was all in a light blue color. In the process of converting the image into black and white, I used a blue filter which gave a light glow to her skin and a darkening of the background. I further enhanced the tree and surroundings to make her stand out even more. She was continuously moving so I shot the image using a high resolution 4K and 30 FPS video. This was the image clip taken from that video that I liked best. I used her facial tones to set the brightness of her tonality. The work seemed to be more of an image of Photo Art. I continued to darken the background giving a very minimal look to where she was standing.
This round’s discussion is now closed!

She could not stop moving and I could not really communicate to her as she entertained a small audience. Harvesting a frame out of the video really works.   Posted: 08/24/2019 16:58:56
Again if you are really good or be a great one to practice with, adding light beams and low lying mist affect would make this image pop. But she is special and I hope you took loads of images this day.   Posted: 08/15/2019 09:00:32
However, I am disturbed by 2 things:
- the crop is too important (not enough space around the subjet/lady)
- there is some blurring on the left (between 2 zone of sharpness).
Otherwise, this is a new style where the personal creativity can be infinite.   Posted: 08/23/2019 06:55:39
