Victor Schrager is a New York artist who photographs books arranged in rigorous geometric patterns and luminous colors using a plate camera. He experiments with the camera's tilts and swings to manipulate the elements in the photograph. The document describes Schrager's original photograph and edits made in Photoshop, including applying blur filters, modifying vibrancy and saturation levels, and increasing exposure to alter the background and book colors.

Originals
• Victor Schrager is a New York artist who was
involved in still-life photography when he was a
Harvard student.
• Schrager had been experimenting with the plate
camera’s selective process, considering its swing
and tilts in order to physically engage the
elements of a picture and began to watch solid
books vaporize beneath his lens.
• The books are arranged using rigorously angled
geometries and luminous planes of colours.

Photograph with
Photoshop edits
•The photograph was edited by using a blur filter
and changes in vibrancy levels to allow the books
to appear more visible than the background.
•The saturation levels were also modified to allow more
radiant colours for the books for a greater aesthetic
appeal.

Photograph with Photoshop
edits
• The photo was edited on Photoshop by
