Grids and Mood
For this project, I experimented with making different grids and used a variety of different colors. I edited images and altered the colors and put the photographs together in a pattern in order to create unique grids. Also, I tested out different editing techniques to portray specific moods in certain photographs. I worked with warm colors, cool colors, complementing colors and monochromes.

Demonstration of Mood
For this photo, I increased the background's exposure to accentuate the cat's face. I edited the cat's colors to a darker red and brown to make the photograph more intense and to demonstrate an ominous mood. I think the way the cat is looking down at camera furthers the mood of the photograph.
Extra photograph edited to demonstrate mood
I took this photograph downtown of these two homeless artists on the street. This picture is powerful in demonstrating the tragic issue of homelessness. I edited the colors to make them dark and almost monochrome and took the saturation down. The idea of homelessness is an upsetting subject to many and I think the concept of the picture along with the gloomy, grey colors creates a dismal mood.
