Project 7

For this project, we were supposed to be simulating the look of and old daguerreotype photo and making a digital cyanotype. I downloaded some texture and brush links

from online for free and brought in some simple portrait photos into Photoshop. I simply for both photos 

made them black and white. For the daguerrotype, I took a picture of my sister sitting in her bed which I think

looks pretty modern. I brought it into Photoshop and changed it to black and white then created a sepia look

to it. I used the brush tools to make it splotchy and have an older look to it and flattened the images. For the 

cyanotype, I put a self timer on the camera to take a picture of me in front of an older building. I made a 

background with the brush tools and brought my photograph into Photoshop. I made a black and white

 preset and then placed my photo on top of the brush stroked background. I then upped the color blue on 

my photo to make it look like a cyanotype and flattened the layers.
