Portrait photography a person or group of people that displays the expression, personality, and mood of the subject. Like other types of portraits, the focus of the photograph is usually the person's face. In this case we are taking a photo of the side of the face. It can relate to profiling because with a portrait, the face can be turned sideways and it will still be considered a portrait, of course. It can relate to silhouetting by the similar properties it can have in the photo, like a person, and/or a face.
Double exposures are created in photoshop by first compiling your files in a stack, so they're all on top of each other. Next you can put your layers in order (face on top) and use the dodge tool to white out the background. After, you can put that layer into blend mode so the background images stand out. You can also make adjustments on the layers on make your background images stand out on the silhouette of your/someone's face. You can really make it pop by adjusting the blend mode and adding layer adjustments. I like making these, and you'd want to make one because they turn out amazing and look like artwork. I personally added three adjustment layers to make it really stand out, and have the photos blend together well.
For my multi exposure, I used books, the ocean, and converse (shoes). The requirement was two symbolic photos , but of course I had to use three. The books represent my love for reading, knowledge and how I love learning new things. The second image is the ocean and rocks. After school everyday, my friends and I walk down to the local library and sit where I took that picture, so it holds some sentimental value. It also ties in with my last photo, which is Leila's and I's converse, representing friendship. My quality can be improved upon by making it more clear in general.

Beautiful work! I really like the layer adjustments you added. Very unique.
ReplyDeleteGreat images, I like the effects and you can see both symbols well. good job!
ReplyDeleteI can clearly see the water and the shoes. The books are hard to see though. Just try to make them a little more noticeable.
ReplyDeleteThat is one stunning image. The only thing I have to complain about is that your face is covered by the ocean. I really can't see anything. I really love the placement and the color scheme of your multi. However, I think the shoes and the books should be a little more noticeable.
ReplyDeleteWoah Maya, awesome job. I really love how it's all under one color scheme and how you can see your face and hair. I can see the ocean and sunglasses(?), and I can also clearly see books down by your chest.
ReplyDeleteAmazing color, however I think the brightness is a bit high, and the symbols are challenging to see for me. Overall I really like both finals, Great Job Maya!
ReplyDeleteWow, awesome job! I love how you used adjustment layers, and I absolutely love the colors. One thing that could be improved is maybe making your symbols a bit more visible. I like how you included an extra symbol, and overall, your final image is very striking.
ReplyDeleteVery nice job!!! Your symbols are very easy to see, and I like your colors!
ReplyDeleteI love all of the color, but some of your images were kinda hard to see.
ReplyDeleteIt's really colorful, it may be better if I could see your images easier, but it still has great representation.
ReplyDeleteI love your colors so much! It reminds me of cotton candy *Insert heart eye emoji here* I can see THREE photos great job maya it looks amazing!!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I really like the different colors and how they kind of blend into each other! But you could of made your face more visible but other than that GOOD JOB!
ReplyDeleteHello! awesome job, the colour really pops out! One thing you can improve is make your face more visible. Overall, I'd give this a 4/4 if I were Mr. Sanderl.
ReplyDeleteYour color is great and you put lots of sentimental value in your symbols instead of just throwing a few things together. Great job Maya!
ReplyDeleteWoah, the color scheme is awesome! I love the blue color (O.O Mind blown), it looks like everything is in the ocean! Looking at it carefully, I could see the show and the books, where it was arranged amazingly. Your negative space could be fixed, but the image is awesome!
ReplyDeleteGreat work, I can see that you planned this out well.
ReplyDeleteI think your picture could improve by toning down the over-all color.
Awesome job!
great photos and great work on the wave and shoes!!!
ReplyDeleteI really like the layer adjustments that you used. At first, I couldn't see the ocean, I thought it was just a part of another image, but the other symbols are clear. Overall, I think it's a really nice portrait.
ReplyDeleteI really like your symbolism images.
ReplyDeleteI think your message works because I can see most of what you were trying to show.
I think to improve this, you could make yourself a little bigger to use most of your white space.
great cut out
ReplyDeletenext time try to make your images more clear
great amount of writting
