self-portrait
these two photographs are my self-portraits. the first one was taken outside my house. i manipulated the photo by using a mirror image effect and making the photo black and white. it was about 30 degrees outside and it was raining. lighting a match was extremely hard and took 30 minutes. i used a very low shutter speed because it was nighttime and i wanted a slow-motion effect. i also increased the contrast in the photo.
in the second photo, i again used a slow shutter speed. this was actually an accident but i thought it came out better and more candid than the planned photographs. this photo was also manipulated. i put two different photos on top of each other and used the overlay layer effect. although i increased the contrast, the colors of the photograph were still soft.
