Edited photo of “Connection”. My professor helped me learn more Photoshop (lol) to edit the photo to make the necklace really stand out. This is the version I’ve come up with that I like the best so far. Photography of an artist’s work has become more important than seeing the piece in person. An excellent photo will get you into a show, and a poor one will keep you out of one. Editing adds hours onto the process!!
-But of course it’s worth it :)
