An idea for the exam project of Meetings/ Encounters and Experiences is to demonstrate the stages of drug abuse, from the actual taking of drugs to the mental high experienced. It would include dark, mysterious, eerie pictures to demonstrate the taking of the drugs, followed by lighter images in the style of lomography, with photoshop edits to recreate the effect of the drugs on the mind.
This is an example of the first set of images that represent drug taking. The picture is taken in an abstract environment (for example a bath) and is edited to look eerie and dark. I have used different techniques on photoshop such as turning the picture to black and white, adding slight sepia and red tones and editing the levels to create darker shadows to the picture.
This is an example of the second part to the concept, being the effect of drugs on the mind. I edited this picture alot to create a lomography and brighter effect on the image by changing the contrast and brightness levels aswel as the colour curves. I have also edited the image using the liquify tool to change the appearance of the road markings, this is to recreate the "high" effect of the image. I also added birds to the image flying out of the models mouth to also portray the hallucinations that can result from drug taking.
