Walker Evans Emulation

The following photographs were taken in Selma, Alabama for my artist emulation. I was hoping to capture the same simplicity and honesty as Walker Evans did when photographing rural Alabama. It was amazing to look through the lens at a town so seemingly unchanged by the times and to imagine that perhaps I was seeing things exactly as they were when Evans travelled through Selma.

Spring Assignment

This group of three pictures was taken at Aldridge Gardens to fulfill the 'spring' assignment. I performed basic editing maneuvers on all three, adjustments like cropping, hue/saturation, curves, shadow/highlights, exposure, and sharpening. All contain some combination of the above. To attain the color on the first two shots, I cranked up the saturation and then added another hue/saturation layer that was more desaturated and played with opacity until I found the look I liked.
