Surreal Photo Manipulation

Surreal Music

 

I used the Quick Selection Tool to take the person and the piano out of their pictures.

I used the Brush Tool to paint the music notes.

I used the Clone Stamp, Image Adjustments Menu,  and the Burn Tool to edit the person.

I used a Mask to fade out the piano.

Retouching

I think society retouches photos as a form of propaganda. Especially if they’re trying to sell something, they want to make you think that it will give you the best possible outcome. The results are that they have a beautiful photo that makes people want to do whatever.  But if it’s a person, it can make other people feel really bad about themselves and how they look! This can lead to, especially in girls, depression, eating and other diseases, and in severe cases: suicide. Retouching photos gives us a “model” to go off of. And people try to go off of it as much as possible even though it’s basically IMpossible! In the video, they used a ton of make-up and other things along with Photoshop to make the photo the way it looks. No one actually looks like that!
