If you like me, live on this earth, shadows will be cast. It’s the law of nature. But what if you really want a bright white floor or an even coloured floor in your picture?

First thing first, plan to take your picture against a white or plain coloured background. You may remember these recent examples:

The previous how-I-did-it photo editing post dealt with overall brightening of the image, and how I converted the image to high contrast black and white with few shades of grey in between. I got a harder image with a more graphic quality that way.

In this post, we will look at how to brighten or even out specific areas of the photo, rather than the whole photo.

Here’s how I did it on my iPhone for the picture used in Look what I found hiding in the study!

Read my eyebrows, human!

We all have photographs of ourselves taken many times over but how many can say they actually have a hand-drawn portrait of themselves done? Perhaps a pencil sketch is an anachronism, a format not representative of current trends which has seen the proliferation of digital camera and smartphones into the household. But sometimes, a pencil sketch, even an artificial one from a smartphone app can be quite the novelty, don’t you think?

I may fade from this world,
I may be far from home,
Remember me in flowers,
Under trees where I have roamed.

I find it hard to feel a connection with abstract work. But it is pretty fun to experiment with multiple exposures when it comes to abstract photography. I find more meaning that way. This set of pictures is heavily influenced by Sara Byrne.

The original four black and white images I intended to use for this post before I decided to do a composite.

You’ll agree that the composite is more interesting right? I thought the colour versions of the double exposures were quite interesting by themselves but stripped of colour, some of them do need the composite to give it extra oomph!

All colour versions may be found on Instagram. :) Or click on the images above to see their corresponding colour version.
