28 Ways To Interpret A Photo

blog.epicedits.com — 50% of photography is in the processing. That's the opinion of Brian Auer of Epic Edits, and his "Edit my Photo" project is his exploration of the idea. 28 photographers offered their interpretations of one of Brian's photos, and the results are diverse and striking. Vote for your favorites!

  • vivtiger, on 10/17/2007, -1/+7simply incredible results. shows that people, do think differently and that competitions can be fun and mutually beneficial!
    • picsectionpleez, on 10/16/2007, -3/+3Except for the order that pictures are presented and the format of the table skews the voting process. For example I vote for the first photo- anyone else?
      • auer1816, on 10/17/2007, -0/+1Hey, first come first served. Somebody had to be in the first row, might as well be the people who got it done first. If I had ordered them by my own personal preference, then I'd be skewing the results.
    • Manuelmty, on 10/16/2007, -0/+1Pics or.....emm ok.
  • Taber38, on 10/16/2007, -4/+2pretty cool makes me want to do the same thing in my apartment with one of my own pic.
  • Rygood, on 02/03/2008, -2/+5another great one from epic edits. An amazing visual representation about how different photographers interpret and retouch a photo.
  • Desolite, on 10/17/2007, -6/+24so what you're saying is a picture actually says 28,000 words?
  • kendra82, on 10/17/2007, -17/+2How would you interpret these?

  • Sven333, on 10/17/2007, -4/+3And all this time I thought art was limitless. Sciences:infinity, Arts:28. Take that arts.
  • chaosmachine, on 10/19/2007, -2/+24..or you can use the "effect previewer" in photoshop and get basically the same 28 results..
    • Phlosten, on 10/16/2007, -0/+1My sentiments exactly, the 'range' of interpretations seemed a bit bleh. I thought most of those should be binned.
  • fant0m, on 10/17/2007, -1/+5Damn, I thought it said Interrupt, not interpret. This stinks, I was excited to learn new tricks.

  • Neiby, on 10/17/2007, -1/+6This is awesome! Go to each picture and read what was done to them. It's really enlightening to learn about these different approaches to the same material.

  • shenfrancisco, on 10/17/2007, -8/+0Beautiful landscape sceneries (pics)

  • spartin92, on 10/18/2007, -0/+7some of my old art teachers from school should learn this, they would never let us be creative, we had to follow the pack :(
    • stalefries, on 10/17/2007, -0/+3Those kinds of art classes suck. Everyone is learning to imitate the same style, as opposed to learning how to properly use the tools. I'd like to kick whoever invented that form of teaching.
  • FearAndLoathing, on 10/17/2007, -0/+2Nice, once more proving everyone looks through the glass and sees something different.
    • auer1816, on 10/17/2007, -0/+1This is the truth, and that was the point of the project indeed.
  • CIAVT, on 10/18/2007, -5/+1My interpretation

    • CIAVT, on 10/16/2007, -1/+1Doh, IMG shack shut me down, I'll spare you.....

      Hint -> Happy bird on a beach plus a goat, you see.
  • wisie, on 10/17/2007, -2/+1The results are terrible?!
  • CIAVT, on 10/18/2007, -2/+1Doh, IMG shack shut me down, I'll spare you.....

  • uppedbyhiggins, on 10/17/2007, -1/+1The 'Virtual Triptych' was the only worth-while reproduction, the rest seemed like iPhoto filters.
  • macdisciple, on 10/17/2007, -2/+0Wow, push-button creativity with Photoshop filters. The triptych is the only thoughtful and sensitive result.
    • auer1816, on 10/17/2007, -0/+1If you had actually visited the project entries, you'd know that this isn't the case. Many of the entries didn't even use Photoshop, let alone filters. Next time, look before you speak.
  • windmillninja, on 10/17/2007, -0/+4This is great. Does this mean the snobby anti-photoshop "purists" can shut the hell up now?
    • auer1816, on 10/19/2007, -0/+2nah, they'll continue. In fact, they're using this to fuel their fire. A few of them even became vocal in the comments on the site. Though, the other commenters quickly reacted to their negativity.
  • gkullberg, on 10/19/2007, -4/+1Hmmm, this seems like a watered down version of photoshopcontest.com
  • jazzmichael, on 10/19/2007, -1/+0I have never though that is so easy to edit my photo, all the while i am just using Photoshop.
    Thank for the information.
  • akkdio, on 10/17/2007, -0/+1a good learning tool for me. Thanks
