MAGNIFICATION

The image’s subject is my host brother holding a massage machine, I took this picture in my living room even if you can't really tell, even if is a reflection. I didn't want the viewer to be able to see me taking the picture with my camera But I think that I was able to take a picture where me taking the picture looks natural. The lines of the image are all curves; what I think gives unity to the image, it also gives the idea of movement and water, the texture of it also reminds me of water. I created a patron by copying the same image a lot of times creating an unreal setting.

The image is a selective focus and a grouping. I first the you could see the sitting room of the image in the background, then I edit it in photoshop; inserting a black background. I thought it look boring so I copy the layer that I created, and arrange the image covering the back background.

The meaning behind the image is that everybody see himself deformed in mirrors. I took this picture with my host brother and we had a lot of fun doing it
