Documentary

This is my own attempt at documentary photography, i took my camera into Preston town and got this image in a card shop. I shot in black and white because that is the main style of documentary and later added the darker edges on Photoshop. I used this style in my project as i know it is something i have never tried therefore making this an experiment.

In Photoshop i dupilicated the layer then worked on the copy. I used the lasoo tool to go around the main object, once selected i then inversed that and using a very big black brush i created the dark corners, then playing around with the opacity i got the result i wanted.
