Self-portrait

Software used: Adobe Photoshop

Duration of implementation: Within 6 hours.

I started the 2D Self-Portrait exercise by taking a photo of myself in a lit room. I then transformed the photo into the final result using Adobe Photoshop. I was strongly inspired by a photo by John Dykstra that has the same concept. At first I wanted to keep the result clean, to capture the anxiety that I sometimes let myself be boxed into, but when I went back again I felt that I wanted to add some life and thought to it. I decided to be inspired by Dadaism and Constructivism, which can manifest a feeling mechanically, and using drawing and shape I created a composition all around.
