Natural
Artist Statement: My layered selfie consists of me of course, a cactus background, a tree layered on top of my face and two small plants. I chose the cactus background because cacti are one of my favorite plants, especially at the botanical gardens. I also took a picture of the miniature tree at the botanical gardens too. These trees apparently take many many years to grow and tame, I thought this was very interesting because these very small trees can take longer to grow than many larger trees. In the bottom left corner of the selfie there are two plants, I took these as soon as most of the snow melted this weekend because spring is my favorite season because my birthday is in May and it also means summer is coming. Overall I love taking pictures of nature so that is why there is a lot of nature in this overlapping selfie.
Double Exposure: Moving Forward
I think I have learned a lot in this class. Through the many times I went places on the weekend to take pictures. I have learned balance, the rule of thirds and so much more. I have also learned a lot in Photoshop itself. I will use everything I have learned in this class, in classes moving forward. You can see my progression through the portraits, objects and still lives etc. I took this picture in front of a bare wall instead of my first selfie which was in a random room in my house. Also I made sure my second one was not as crowded as my first one.
