Preliminary Task: Editing the Photo

Editing the Photo:
(As blogger does not support transparent pngs, the second image now has a black background, however for the actual piece it is transparent)

1. I started off by masking out the background to obtain a transparent background using the quick selection tool in Photoshop. The masking around the face could be done better as it's left a slight white outline.
2. I lowered the saturation on the subjects face as it seem very red, so to make him look more comfortable I lower the saturation and increased the contrast slightly.
3. Lastly I increased the saturation of the hair colour and gave it an ever so slight red tint as it looked quite drowned out in the original image (left).
