SELF PORTRAIT RE-DO




I redid my self-portraits because my previous ones were seemingly snapshots. This time, I focused on getting good lighting in my photos and editing them more. For the first photo, I wanted to show my happy, giggly side, therefore the background is white to show my lighter side. I wanted the light focused mainly on my face to show me laughing. For the second picture, I wanted to show a sense of frustration and stress that I get from worrying or thinking too much about school, life, etc. I combined two pictures together and painted (through photoshop) the background to show frustration. The last picture, I was playing around with photoshop and came up with the dark, abstract background and added in a picture of me in a bubble. This shows me isolating myself and wanting to be somewhere else.
