ATTRACTIVE AND REPULSIVE PHOTOGRAPHS







This Photograph is repulsive because flowers are ususally beautiful and when someone receives a flower it's looked at as cute or romantic but if the flower is dead and wilting then it's rude and mean. So by the flower being dead it's repulsive instead of attractive.
This photograph is repulsive because the world is so beautiful but when it's cluttered up with garbage that people just throw on the streets then it makes it look dirty instead of beautiful.
This photograph is attractive because at first it looks like just a pile of rusted and dirty garbage piled in someones line but then when you notice the bright colors and the contrast with the red and green it looks attractive and not like a bunch of garbage anymore.

Filter 4





























































For these 2 photos I used the Gaussian blur but then I changed the layer's opacity to 50 so that it wasn't as noticeable it just added a softer texture.

Filter 3

































I used the neon glow for this photo and gave it a 18 for brightness and a 2 for size.



















This one I ended up using a 4 for size.

Filter 2






































































I used the gaussian blur on both of these photos to make them look more easy-going and not so cut and dry. It also really brought out the color in my photos.

Filter 1





























At first I used the dark brush stroke for this one of my dog Benjamin, but since the background doesn't have much in it I couldn't really see any difference so I then put the semi-e brush stroke over it to make him different than the background.

























I duplicated the layer and then lassoed my cousin, Tessa, in the picture then i put a dark brush stroke filter onto the background so that she would pop. I figured this filter would be appropriate because my other cousin looks so happy and she isn't so I wanted to make her stand out more.
