Union: Additional images – George Blake

For my magazine, I wanted to add some more images to create more diversity of content between the pages. Doing an additional photoshoot, I will add these to add a bit more to my final project.

Inspired from the album covers photos I made, I wanted to recreate some album covers, but set within a similar environment to their contents. To me this ties in how people associate their identity through music and by connecting to places similar to wherever they are, it shows how it can be used to create connections between people who share that same passion to the music. With music culture being a method of bringing the youth together, I thought this would fit well behind the pre-existing pages I made about music and its abilities to unite people.

With this photoshoot containing only a few images, I simply chose from the ones I had, leading to no need for a contact sheet.

Editing:

Adding some basic adjustments, altered the image to create more a contrast in colour and tone to create some more depth within side the image.

Converting into black and white, the added depth from before allowed it to be a good canvas to then add a chosen colour through playing around with the images temperature and tint. applying the same settings to all my other vinyl based images, the only differing factor was the colour made through the temperature and tint.

Editing:

For these images, I added a vintage effect through the use of a filter layer off the app snapseed. From this, I then adjusted the grain of the image.

Adding then some adjustments, I tweaked it some more to create a more old digital camera aesthetic.
