“First comes thought; then organization of that thought, into ideas and plans; then transformation of those plans into reality. The beginning, as you will observe, is in your imagination.”
~ Napoleon Hill

First thoughts about transfomation
My first aproach to this project was quite narrow and minor focused. I was not quite sure on how to comply with it and had no idea in which photography area I should start. But bearing in mind that photo manipulation involves transforming or altering a photograph using various methods and techniques to achieve desired results I got more relexed with it. Some photo manipulations are considered skillful artwork while others are frowned upon as unethical practices, especially when used to deceive the public.
During Covid-19 I’d tried to create some “transformed” pictures by taking photos at night, taking macro or close-up pictures or simply by using Photoshop to create different effects from the original photo.
