For the self portrait project, I plan on going out of my photography comfort zone, I am not used to being in front of the camera and it is hard for me to express myself. Due to this, I will be trying different techniques in photoshop. For example in the second photo, the photographer added triangles of parts of the same photo, but placed them next to where they are supposed to go. I want to try a similar technique for this project, the photo will represent that all the parts of me make me who I am. I am going to try to use color to my advantage. Like my last post, I will be trying to use lighter colors to represent my personality, but using colors that contrast with my blue eyes so they are emphasized and the viewer’s eye is drawn to them. The last photo shows a similar idea. For these photos I am going to use different angles and compositions so they are not all central.
Like in the fourth photo, I plan on experimenting with double exposures. I will use nature as the background because that shows who I am, instead of the city. Also, I had an idea that I could do a double exposure with a path or train tracks to show the journey of life I am on. In digital photography last year we used reflections in our first project, but there was not much meaning to them. I had an idea to use reflections, like in the first photo. For the reflection photos I plan on not having my gaze go towards the camera. I want the viewer to be drawn to the reflection first.
