Photography, Digital Editing, and Batique

On Tuesday my tutor and I discussed photography of  groups of people. During my class' lunch break we all got together and I took photographs of our shoes as they tell you more about a person than many people realise. Below are my three favourites which I took forward for manipulation.



Photoshop: For each image, I created a copy of the background as a separate layer and the used the eraser tool to allow the colour of the shoes to appear - a very quick and easy technique that takes a few minutes.







Today I printed these images out to develop the idea with batique. However the printer I used created a blue tint over my images so the colouring from the digital editing was not effective.



Covering selected areas in hot wax

Covered page in ink and removed dried wax

To improve this I need to use black ink to completely cover the background.
