close up
hah looking at this self potrait now i notice all the flaws and wonkyness of it. such as how my left eye is really close to my nose, and the left side of my face is huge...oh well at least im learning. just a close up to show the various colours i used and more detail i suppose this was the final project. we were to combine 1-2 (or more) images together. i chose a photo of a latin american native girl from a natural geographic magazine and a photo of a lake from Costa Rica. it was really difficult making the girl look her age- at one point she looked like an angry old lady. it was also the difficult to get the proper skintone. i chose to keep the background a bit abstract because sometimes i forget what Costa Rica looks like- it becomes a blurr.
oh and for some reason the last photo came out really bright- the expossure is off but i have no time to tweak the photograph. you get the just of it. |
