Week#196 Selective Color - Collecting paper for a living
Details in Discussions
Sorry for another photo from the shoebox. Did not have a chance to go out hunting for an adequate shot for the subject.
Photo taken on my IPhone during my trip to İstanbul a couple of years ago. This lady makes a living collecting paper and cardboard for the recycling firms. Since she has to move around with her handcart in the crazy İstanbul traffic, her choice of attire is like a traffic signal.
As pants, she is wearing what we call a ~shalvar~, baggy pants, normally black, not hers, worn by villagers, men and women alike. So, she must have recently moved to Istanbul for a better life. Note also that her shoes are the same color as her sweater. Lovely signs of her feminine taste and aspirations.
Processed mainly in LR, using basically two tools.
- The Radial Gradient around her to lighten her a bit Another Radial Gradient around her, inverted, to desaturate all colors in the image, except for her.
- And the Brush tool for local adjustments of mainly exposure and natural looking vignetting.
