Photo blog #43: Film Noir

milo rathbun – storytelling

In this photoblog, I was tasked with capturing a film noir vibe in my photos. I started out by taking a photo of my subject in a very foggy rainforest-type location with an ominous background. After I had the photo I edited it in Photoshop and used overlays to add the effect you can see everywhere other than the subject. After applying the effect I didn’t like how it made the subject look so I added a mask and used the brush tool to almost remove the effect from one part of the picture and keep the rest. This made it look like the effect was almost going to take over slowly the entire photo.
