This shot was taken in my fridge. I wanted it to come across as a grainy film shot. I dulled the color around the can and made the red of the can deeper and brighter. In addition to this, I added grain and texture.

These two shots were taken outside of my apartment complex. The flowers were a beautiful contrast to the old wood and sign. I brought out the red accents of the wood to match the red flowers and brought in more texture to the shot to make it more interesting. Making this ordinary spot extraordinary was so fun!
