FAS 360-Manipulation and Abstraction Photography- This project was to effectively utilize nontraditional image capture techniques in capturing an experimental image of manipulation and abstraction. Then, effectively utilize advanced photographic editing techniques in an experimental way to enhance manipulation and abstraction in the image. This image of the game board with hands illustrates the thoughts when the person is gaming and casting spells. The subject explained to me what they see when they are playing. So, I captured a closeup of his hands, isolating and inverting them. The image made a great start to spell caster’s hands. The lightning and light flares were added to accentuate the action of the message.
