A Luz do Mundo


O que eu buscava
This is a FILM image. It was taken before AI, with no Photoshop enhancements or corrections— straight off the camera, using only a candlelight star filter. Would people believe that this image is not AI or Photoshop enhanced, and would it hinder the marketing of it? What were your thoughts when you first viewed it?
I loved seeing this today. The contrast between the brilliant cross-shaped light and the dark landscape is immediately compelling, and the reflection carries the eye beautifully through the image. Knowing this was achieved in-camera makes the effect especially interesting. Conceptually, the title and imagery work together very clearly. I wonder whether a slightly tighter crop might strengthen the focal point even further. There is a real possibiity that at first glance people would think it has been digitally altered as it is "perfect" but I don't think this needs to hinder your marketing. I'd simply clarify it in your artist notes. Something like: "Captured on film, entirely in-camera using a candlelight star filter. No digital manipulation, Photoshop or AI." That becomes an interesting part of the story of the photograph, especially now when viewers may naturally wonder how an unusual effect was created.
Muito obrigado pelo seu feedback, isso realmente ajuda.
Gostaria que, quando eles postaram a imagem, não tivessem adicionado um fundo preto ao redor das bordas, o que faz parecer que aquilo era parte da imagem que precisa ser recortada.
