Owain Davies: Ghostly Images

 the influence behind this image was the video game called 'mirrors edge' especially with the theme of a 'big brother' state. This basically means that there are thousand of cameras around a city recording what every does at all times and there is no concept of privacy.   

In this session we learnt on how to make a few pictures with ghosts on it. We did this by choosing two different images. the first image was used for the background so for these we only increase the size of the original image. Then for the second image did a little more. To start we had to edit out the subject out of the image so we used the pen tool so it can be as accurate as it can be. After this we desaturated the image to make it grey after it we put quite a bit of blur on the 'ghost' then we just decrease the opacity

this concept is due to my time playing a board game and this one was an actual model of the game. since i really enjoyed the game i deiced to use it as the ghost and i just matched the background to the subject.
