Serenity

1/60 f1.8 ISO100

This week it was hard to come up with or portray ideas for serenity because I had so much work, I wasn’t exactly serene. I decided to show serenity through rest, so I photographed my blanket. It’s supposed to show how it feels to sleep in on the weekend, where the light is seeping through the window but the room is still dark. I used a blue light to show this and make it feel more calm. It also exaggerated some of the values in the blanket which makes it look cooler and more abstract.

In Photoshop, I added an overlay layer of 45% to bring some contrast and emphasize the foreground. I also added a saturation of -15 because the colors are less harsh on the eyes and therefore more calming and serene. It was hard to get the details in detail so next time I should have used a higher f-stop.
