Here I just want to share with friends that are JPG's member, an experience of post-processing idea, that I think could be interesting and fun to do with your unwanted photos that are printed on the photo paper, and have somethings wrong like under expose, over expose, out of focus, or even dislike ones.
You can do it at home just in a few minutes.
First of all, I must say that this idea was the result of my efforts to find and create patterns for my graphic class when I was passing a press graphic course, some years ago, and it was so interesting for all of my classmate and teacher, and that's why I hop it might be now as it was.
and for choosing it's name, I had no idea at the beginning till that some one thought those are some kind exposes of fire, and when others friendly kidding that, those are of various fire in hell, I decided to call them Photo Hell.
Any way, to start that, all you need for creating randomly patterns of photo hell
are:
-- Your photos
-- Some whitener liquid that have bleach in its formula and use for washing clothes and clearing drops that mostly could find in any home or you can buy it from a super market.( vitex is one that I use ).
-- Gloves for supporting your hands from the liquid.
-- some stuff or sponges, or if it was possible gunny stuff, or a brush for coating liquid on photos.
-- and important thing you must have, is fellow water to wash rapidly the liquid from photos to avoid of continuing of clearing.
There is another important thing that must be care of it, is jumping of liquid on your clothes, if it happen, your clothes get white spot there that you could not fix it. so wearing a cover on your clothes or be aware of that.
At begining, it's better wash photo after 2 or 3 seconds of coating, you can coat photo again just after washing, and you can see how the liquid mixes colors on paper during of coating.
with using different stuffs, you can make different of patterns on photos, or with a pen that is filled with this liquid instead of ink, you can write on photos and after washing liquid you have your write on photo in white color.
there is nothing more to say, except you must try it more and more,
until you become superior.
As you see the examples below, they have mostly common color of red, Orange and yellow, so if you like to have other colors in a pattern
first you must have it in photo and the second, try to save it from cleaning.
Also, I tried to coat on some where of photos as a painting, that is on examples below. but it must be matched with its graphic proper.
Finally, I am sure when you try it, you will find more than I want to say, And it will be my pleasure to see your experience of creating Photo Hell.
I hop you like & enjoy it.
