To create this self-portrait, I used the Apple Iphone 5S with IOS 7.1.2 software, and it was edited in Afterlight version 2.5.
This shot was taken in the early morning. I had just woken up, so naturally, I opened the Snapchat application to inform the world of this thrilling event. After rolling over on to my stomach and haphazardly taking my daily morning “Snap”, I observed the unintentionally interesting self-portrait that I had created. So, I opened the camera and carefully repositioned my face and hand within the frame.

Using the application, Afterlight. I completely de-saturated the photograph (sometimes I'll add tone, but not this one), and from there, I lowered the exposure, deepened the shadows, and boosted the highlights, and clarity. For this particular photograph, I intensified the drama due to its type of photograph (self-portraits tend to be strengthened with deep blacks and light whites). Two important editing elements that I include at the end of every photo recipe is refining the detail (sharpening) and adding a border. A border around the final photograph will help it to look professional in presentation and it draws the viewer’s eye inward to the content of the photograph. I am a stickler for detail, so I made sure that every blemish and freckle just shouted, “good morning, Snapchat world!”
