Edge Lighting


This week, we were given a test of our Photoshop skills by taking a regularly lit portrait, and adding edge lighting to but the normally lit photo in a sunset context. I tried to keep the colors natural in this piece by sampling from the background around my friend's head. This color choice kept the lighting natural. I was debating on whether or not to keep the background in focus but the DOF the lens blur adds gives the subject, in this case the head, the proper attention while keeping the general context of the background. Lastly, the composure was originally arranged in a rule-of-thirds method but I instead opted for a center oriented subject.
