irene (after richter)

the original description is sort of inaccurate, so i'm moving it to the tags. this is basically what irene looks like after she's totally stuffed herself and is trying desperately to stay awake. right around this time, she was hovering between awake and asleep but she looked totally spaced out, like we'd been slipping some bourbon in her milk.

 

this photo is sort of a hodgepodge of apps. It started off with the regular Camera.app in focus, but i wanted a soft blur on the image because it reminded me so much of the expression in richter's Becky painting.

 

Initially, i thought i might find photoshop for ios, instead, i used snapseed's tilt shift and applied it to the top of the image and then the bottom of the image resulting in a semi-uniform blur. From there, i pulled it into Darkroom and pulled down the levels a bit, a mild desaturation, and then into Vsco to apply the a2 filter, desaturate some more and then, ironically, punch up the contrast.
