Self Portraits Good Copy

So the idea here was to take separate portraits of my body, in order to make a full scale portrait using the different angles.
I like this idea because it gets almost all the angles of my body. So instead of just doing "selfies," and making my face be the main thing, I used my whole body. It doesn't really represent anything, just shows who I am on the outside. Although, it could show how there are many sides to people. You think you know someone, but theres always a part of them that you never knew. You're always rediscovering people, day after day, opening new doors with them. 

Self Portraits Tests

I liked the idea of this photo, but I obviously didn't use it because it was too dark.

Just a different angle of my legs. I didn't really like how it turned out.

I like the lighting in this photo, but I didn't like the way my shirt looked.

Self Portraits Part 1



I really like this particular self portrait because its a creative idea. I also find it funny, referring to the models facial expression. I also like how the background is solid black, so the focus stays on the model, and doesn't interfere with the foreground images. It's a really fun image all together.


I really like this image as well because of her eyes. The intensity of the colour is what I love. I love how it goes from a pale green, in the centre, and works its way out to a darker teal colour. I also like how there is a soft light coming from behind her head, making it kind of glow, and have a slight halo.


I really like this photo because of the fade effect. I like how theres hardcore shadowing on the models face. You can see the contours of their facial structure nicely, even though theres a lot of shadows and the fade effect going on. Its a really lovely photograph.

Tilt Shift Whoop



Both of these photos were taken in the metalshop. The one on the top is a pile of scrap metal, of different shapes and sizes. The one on the bottom is of some lift, I believe. For both, I mildly tweaked them using the blur option, and changed the saturation, on photoshop.

Friday Photos

 Black and white:
This is a picture of a girl alone on a swing set in winter. I like it because although being alone is sad, it can be peaceful. The snow falling in the foreground adds a nice touch, but does not take away from the girls presence. The image focus' on the swings, but doesn't deny the girl. 
I got it from Nichalas.

Face:
This is an image of my friend Andrew. The location of this image is in the Clayton Heights mac lab. I chose him for my model because he's just really cute. The picture is focused on Andrew's face, but the background still captures the classrooms environment in this image.

Spilled:
I took this picture of the freshly mopped entrance to Clayton Heights Secondary. I took this picture because even though spills are messy, this one is clean, literally. The location of this image is the B wing entrance at Clayton Heights Secondary.

Opposites:
This is a picture I took of the Clayton Heights logo. The three different flags are in a pattern, of opposites. Yet there is still opposites on the flags themselves, as they are made up of blacks, greys and whites. The location of this image is the Clayton Heights Secondary hub.

A Glimpse:
This is a picture of Andrew's donk, through the mac labs classroom door. I chose this for my Glimpse because it captures the way he walks. The location of this image is the doorway of the Clayton Heights Secondary mac lab.
