Artists struggle with a relentless battle of what direction to edit their photos. Black and white, moody, duotone, monochrome, light and airy... the list goes on. I stop that back and forth by create multiple edits of images to try push the boundaries of my creativity; even when I go into taking a photo with and Idea of how I want to final product to look. I tend create to separate files of the same image and work on them to stretch the ability of my mind to detach from an idea I found comfortable. Thus pushing the flexibility of my creativity and expanding my imagination. This “artistic exercise” as I call it is inspire by the color variations of Andy Warhol’s “Campbell’s Soup Cans” and the evolution of “colorways”in sneaker design and culture.
