The goal was to isolate the subject and focus on the texture using low-key photography. In the lesson, Duchemin suggests that removing color is a smart way to make tones and textures do the talking in an image per say. In this case, I wanted the furs of this Christmas hat to be clear and shine against the negative space. I’m satisfied with how it turned out, seeing that there’s also a path that guides the eye to the white furry ball at the top. For edits, I converted the image to B&W, upped the contrast, sharpened, dimmed the highlights to limit potency of the white, adjusted the levels, took down the red and yellow values, and used spot healing to clean some unwanted white spots.
