For all of these images I wanted to keep everything black and white like Bill Brandt's work. I added a grain filter as well to further make them look like his work.
As I have developed the idea, I thought I would like to introduce subtle colour. The Bleach Bypass technique seemed perfect as it enhances the contrast and texture whilst reducing the saturation. Whilst I quite like the results I think that I would like to take a better photograph in the first place as my composition is not very good.
