The Faces Project an experiment in digitally manipulated self-portraiture |
This one has a calm, dreamy effect; it's made with Auto Levels > Smart Blur > Cutout (8 levels) > Hue shift to Blue, then using the Selection tool to create a mask in the facial area. The image in the face is taken from a series of snapshots from a trip to the Southwest last summer - this one while heading South along the western edge of Colorado, through Navajo reservation territory. 108083432896984757 
Polar coordinate transforms can produce surreal, rather disturbing facial contortions. This was created by desaturating the original image, applying the Difference Clouds filter, followed by the Distort > Polar Coordinates > Rectangular-to-Polar transform and a 90° CW Canvas Rotate. 108067445703303885 
This is a rather simple image, created by using Trace Edges > Invert > Variations (several steps "more orange") > Extrude, using 10x30 pyramids. 108067423924572962 
One of the eerier Faces, created using multiple filtering steps. After desaturating the original image and applying blue Difference Clouds and 8-level Cutout effects, I used the selection tool to highlight a mask-shaped area of the face and hands. Application of Distort > Ocean Ripple produced a synthetic watery effect. After deselecting the areas, the entire image was Difference Cloud and Inverted several times to produce the final result. 108066942490563290 
AKA the Blair Office Project: the only alteration here is a Glowing Edges filter on the non-face part of the image. 108066924965211788 
After a long Photoshopping session, it's easy to get a raging case of the Edvard Munchies. Autolevels > Increase Saturation > Cutout (8 levels) > Shear Transform. 108066861421101548 |
