Self Portrait

Portrait of a portrait

Artist Statement:

• This picture was for the project, "Self Portrait." This picture was fairly easy to compose, all I did was set up my camera on top of a little shelf thing (because I don't actually have a tripod.) I don't have a remote to take the picture, so after setting up the camera, I had my brother Neil press the shutter button. After the first picture was taken, the one with me holding the camera, I moved to the other side, but this time with a different hat and jacket. After taking this shot, I transferred both into Adobe Photoshop. In Photoshop, I overlayed the picture of me with the camera over the picture of me staring on top of eachother. After, I erased everything around me so I could get both of me in one single shot. Here is the final photograph.
