Interpretative process

This exercise is about making interpretations for a creative purpose.  

For this exercise I selected an image shot on the Cornwall coast in August. The image was shot in raw format.  

Picture 1 Original optimized Image in Adobe Lightroom


The picture was taken at sunset and the water looked beautiful, reflecting the blues, turquoise, pink and orange tones of the clouds in the sky. I spotted the figures of two walkers on the beach and zoomed on them and the massive rock immediately next to them.   

For this exercise I used Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom to process my image. The main stages of my image processing workflow, described in Assignment 1, were used to complete this exercise.  After completing the necessary optimization steps I had the image ready for my creative interpretation exercise. 

Picture 2 Panel of images: interpretations



The image above shows my panel of different interpretations of the original image (also included as No 2). Only 3 interpretations were required for this exercise so I decided to focus on images No 1, 4 and 6. The images No 3 and 5 are included below: these versions were created using cold (3) and warm (5) filters.
