This image is figurative, I shot it from an upward angle which I have found to a mistake because you loose Karina's neck and I am looking right up Simone's nose which is very unflattering to the both of them. However I chose to do this originally because I liked the shapes that the gate created and shooting from this angle gave it a cool effect, It's almost like each girl is in their own dimension or somthing if that makes sence because Simone is absolutly unaware of Karina's presence. I printed it dark and on photoshop gave it more contrast and the highlights brighter. I also experinced with writing on my prints like Duane Michaels agian with this particullar image I found it unnessisary though and it probably was better before I did that but mistakes are the key to learning.

Photobooth

I like the idea of this assignment but I do not like how I executed it, because I do not belive that these images are truley a self portrait of me. I tried to make all of them different and convey a different persona in each, but each persona is more of a general feeling everyone has(Vanity,Dorky,Hurt,and Numb) not specific to myself. As far as the process on photobooth I just held very still and did each four that way, dragged all four sets into photoshop got a new canvas copy pasted and used free transform to make them all the same size and they all line up perfectly and I also just went to adjustments and made them Black& White I did not play more because I the artist work we are modeling after all the Black& Whites of herself are the same tones so I just wanted it all to match.
