Figurative Photography

BY ANDREA MDOS

Artist, Photographer

Barcelona, Spain

The human figure has been compelling subject matter for artists since the beginning of time. Fast forward to the 21st century, where Andrea Mdos teaches us her approach to the subject using multiple apps to create her figurative art.

Window

-his was taken and edited within the app “Best Camera”, using the Joya filter to increase contrast and color, and finally in the app “Lo-Mob”, using the frame Slide 2 Warmer.

Momentos

The image is processed in the app “PhotoForge”, to convert the image to black and white, then opened in the app “FotoMuse”, where we add a splatter layer giving the piece a hand-done feel. Finally we use the app “Cartoonize” to give the image a blur and remove it one step further from photographic reality.

Makeup

Photo was opened in the app “ToonPAINT” to give it a comic book look and saved to the camera roll. Open that image in “addLib” to give it a graphic layout and then save it. We frame and crop the piece in the app “ShakeItPhoto”.

The Farewell

The photo was processed in the app “PictureShow” using the Multi Exposures filter to create the double exposure, then I cropped and framed the piece with “ShakeItPhoto”.

Spanish Ole

Open the picture in “ToonPAINT” to create a black-and-white image and delete the red from the original. Save the image and open it in “PictureShow” and use the Multi Exposures setting to create the altered composition. Save and open in the app “LunaPic” and use the Color Pencil Sketch filter to rough up the look of the piece. Open the image in “Lo-Mob” using the frame AE TTV DeSatured. Save and open in the app “CinemaFX” and use the Poster and Charmed Glow filter to reduce the color range and add blooming highlights.

Shadows

This image was shot with the app “ScratchCam FX” for the rough, organic feel and then altered in the app “Cool fx” where we use the filters Black and White, Hi-con 1, and Flashback to complete the piece and its dreamlike feeling.

4Men

This image was altered with the app “FaceGoo” to soften the photographic lines of the figure of the man. Then I opened the image into the app “Lo-Mob”, using the 6x6 TTV Green Virage filter to change the color balance, and finalized the piece in the app “PictureShow” using the Quad filter to create this mysterious asymmetrical graphic.
