2831-701, Crit 4 – Vintage/Memory, F14Recipe for POW
This week one of my self-portrait was chosen for the POW.
I am proud that this photo got as much
attention as it did because I worked a lot on perfecting it. I’ve been looking
at the mirror in my hallway for months now waiting for the right time to
photograph it and this was the moment.
I stood in my hallway in front of the mirror and played
around with angles and positioning of myself and my camera (iPhone 5c). When I
found the right position for my phone not to be seen I positioned myself how I wanted
to be seen. I actually had to stand on my tippy toes to get in the mirror more.
After playing around and lots of test shots I captured the image I wanted.
Next I went into my camera roll, selected the pictured
and began editing it in my phones photo album settings. I boosted up the
contrast and started by making the photo b&w. I then took it into an app
called ‘Fotor’ to add some toning to the b&w. my process for this image was
quite simple, just took some trial and error to get the shot I wanted!
