Shadow Practice

Silhouette - I changed the tone to a sepia tone and then made the blacks stand out a bit more so I could get the right amount of black to get the silhouette  I wanted.

 I had my group hold the light on the side of Matt's face and then we had a pattern in front of the light so it would shadow onto Matt's face.
I set up the dinosaurs in a way where I could have the light in a certain direction for the shadows to be distorted.

Color Project - Different Color Groups

I used the direct positive preset on lightroom before I began editing even more. I sharpened, highlighted, recovered, and boosted up the exposure to get my final result. This falls under the neutral color group because brown is not on the color wheel. 

 (Edited on Light Room) I reduced the fill light, increased the blacks a little bit, decreased the vibrance and saturation and then I boosted the exposure and recovery.
 I barely edited this picture on lightroom, all I did was sharpen it a little bit, and then boosted the color...this falls under the analogous color group because these are the colors of fall.
As I edited this, I boosted the reds so the red could come out a bit more than it did before, and then I sharpened the picture. Red is complementary to green, therefore it falls under the complementary color group.

Color Backgrounds

The lighting is fluorescent. The different color backgrounds exaggerate the colors of the slinky.
