Krithika Dama Photography

Artist Statement: For this portfolio I focused on the theme of colors. For each photo, an emphasize of a certain colors is shown. Each color was either changed in Lightroom to be saturated, or less saturated. I also added in color to photos that had no emphasize before, which included the black and white photos. For the photos with an undertone of greenery, I displayed one with a bright and vintage like theme, and the other depicting a rather dark theme. For the purple undertones, one is a bright neon purple, while the other has a blue undertone to depicting the theme of mystery as well as guiding the viewer to wander what it is. The purple is also found in other photos, but each giving of a different meaning. The red undertone gives life to the photos and helps to emphasize the work underneath. Each color has its own aesthetic and gives different value to each piece of the photo. As a whole the colors blend together and the piece allows for the viewer to see what they want to see. As well as feeling a different way about a certain piece in comparison to the others. The variation in color gives the photos as a whole a more energizing composition. The photo in these pieces were very experimental and consisted of a lot of trial and error. This included seeing which color to add more of or which color I wanted to make more present that than rest. This piece included a lot of manipulation of color, from the original black and white photos, to piece with completely different colors to start with.
