Worked-over or over-worked?
Not wanting to do more self-portraits, I started looking through my old photos for someting to work on. This is a classmate from last year. The photo is well-worked over. Is it too much? Not enough? I often wonder how much of the work I did could/should have been done when I took the photo. If it was a film camera, how much of this would have been controlled by the kind of film? How much would have been done in the darkroom?
For the original photo before I worked it over click the link below.
One thing I noticed tonight was that I was sitting in the dark as I worked on the photo. After I uploaded it, I turned on the lights and it looks a little different. This is meant to be viewed in the dark.
