NO HUNTING Selfie Collage
Through this the process of making this image I was really trying to convey my love for nature and northern Michigan. Most of the images in the picture were taken up north at and around my families cabin. The picture of the lake was taken of the deck of my cabin and the "no hunting" sign was taken not far from my families cabin. The selfie itself was actually taken twenty feet in the air in a tree stand however you can't see that. The first layer my face is pretty self-explanatory. However, the second layer isn't as simple the No hunting sign really reminds of up north and my love for the forest and the rustic feel of the place. The sunset on the lake reminds of the beauty and the majesty of the lake. Finally, the berries seem like nothing much. However, they are taken right in front of my house on a cold rainy day. It shows that beauty can come out even on the worst of days. I blurred all of the images together so that all of it blends and makes me. The title of the image is NO HUNTING which shows my love for northern Michigan and the fact that I don't want to be hunted.
Leaves of Fall
As you can see the double exposure and the selfie are very different but also similar. The selfie has my face going over the image whereas in the one above the image kind of goes over the face. I also would like to highlight my growth in using photoshop. In the first one the cutting out of my face was really poorly done. There is a weird cuts by the ear on the first one. The second one is much more smooth and looks way better. This is because my skills with photoshop have greatly improved. I also wore the same shirt for both pictures however this isn't visible because the leaves go over it in the second image. I think these to images really show my growth as a photographer and as a editor and I hope I can grow more.
