Hello everyone, what I like about the creative process is its journey. The more I publish on HIVE, the more my affinity with a certain type of work returns. I really like the contrast between black and white and colors and thanks to this infinite library of royalty-free images that AI gives us, I can now really follow through on my crazy ideas. Before, I used photography to play with colors, but I had a graphic limit that prevented me from going to the end of my ideas. I didn't want to plagiarize the work of another artist by taking a photo and using their work as a support, it was not acceptable to do that. Today I manage to release images corresponding to my idea of creation and graphics, to rework them and give them my vision to color black and white. It was here on ecency that I also discovered black and white by discovering the post of another person and it made me want to take pictures in his tones.
One winters day while walking along a river I saw a man on a bike. He had the distinction of being dressed all in orange. Orange because he wanted to be seen by a vehicle that might pass him. Seeing him coming from afar, I said to myself that the photo could be beautiful, so I discreetly took photos of him, taking care not to take his face. when I got home I looked at the photos of my day's walk and when I came across this image I had a click. Why not change the photo to black and white given that it was in color and keep the man dressed in orange colors. I did exactly the opposite of what I did on this post: I cut out my image to keep my area colored and I applied the finish in a tone of gray. It was at this moment that the crazy idea came to my head. The limit of photography and the right to the image that I do not want to flout. I wouldn't want someone to use my work to say that they were the ones who created it in my place. Afterwards I would tell you there are only the best who copy her and if it happened to me I would be flattered to have been a plagiarist. Today I will be able to freely let my eccentricities exercise in my creations which are sometimes absurd. But I like it!
I went over my image in black and white, trying to be as precise as possible, I colored the mouth, changed the environment to orange-yellow and removed some imperfection which in my opinion gave points of attachment to the eyes and did not allow us to appreciate the image in its entirety.
The gray tones of the face really contrast and give whiteness to my creation.
Thank you very much for watching and reading my creative project.
