Dori H- Jellyfish Dreams


 The title of this image is Jellyfish Dreams. It is a composite photo with two separate images one being the jellyfish and the other being the subject who’s lying down. I took the jellyfish photo at the Georgia Aquarium and the other photo I took in the studio. I wanted this image to look like a girl was dreaming of jellyfish and the main goal was to make it look somewhat dreamy and magical. To edit this photo, I adjusted the exposure and brought up the highlights. I then added all the jellyfish and color-corrected them to be all the same color. After that, I added the glow around the jellyfish and on the subject. I think this image would be better if there wasn't so much empty space around the jellyfish. I was hoping that later on I could go back and add some light rays, like the ones that you would typically see underwater. Although I like the image being more on the darker side so it can add more contrast and highlight the glow of the jellyfish, the photo might be a little too dim. Overall this was a really fun image to edit and I can’t wait to do more composites in the future.

I really like this composite shot! Maci was such a good model for this. I love the glow that you added from the jelly fish on her face. I agree that it may be a little too dim, but I would have to see both versions side by side. Great work ily Dori!!!!!!

This is a great photo, The mood i get from this shot is a sleepy and dreamy and the title goes well with the photo. I love how the photo goes so well with the title and i love how the jellyfish bring out the photo even more.

Hi Dori This picture is very whimsical and dreamlike which I really like! I like how the glowing light from the jellyfish seem to bounce off the subject which makes it look really professional. The color of the jellyfish is a great choice because a neon teal always has a pretty glow, making it look magical.
