I wonder if it was intentional to get that strong saturated blue in the fringes of her hair. It looks like a mistake and draws a lot of attention to the fact that the colors were heavily edited. On the other hand, I think bringing attention to the photo as a medium isn’t necessarily wrong for a picture that might evoke memories of vacations.
- KineticLensman 4y agoYes. The photographer says 'The goal is to see it and feel what midsummer feels like, with the blinding sun and the beautiful form, canvassed almost in her own unreality'. Unfortunately, he has met this goal by creating something that looks like an 'obvious' mistake (the pushed blue). As a photographer, I'd be keen to see if I could get the right look in-camera rather than adding an interpretation after the event. As a photoshop user, I'd want to try other ways of achieving the same changes (e.g. more selective editing of the skin tones)
