The making of: A TWIN PEAKS STORY

Wilcox-Johansson shot 3 different styles of pictures: one in black and white and the other two in colour against light and dark backdrops. They wanted Kate to develop these styles further. Kate sourced different images to inspire herself during ‘the making of’ the images. She worked very hard throughout the weekend and presented the photographer with 3 main moods for their 3 different styles. Smokey, degraded effect for the black and white; a vintage look with pastel colours and out of focus edges for the light backdrop and an amazing TV screen effect with pronounced hues for the blues and red for the images shot against the dark backdrop.

Below I have posted some work in progress to show some of the styles they went through. Really well done!

Some TV screen and colour effects.

Here are 4 versions for the B&W options using different light leaks to help create the smoky effect.

And finally here are different effects to achieve a re-photographed effect from paper or an old photograph. Finally the pastel vintage look with blurred edges has been selected.
