Artist Statement:

The project assigned to me was to edit a photo using photoshop in a way that created two of the subject, in this case, me. I had to get creative for this assignment because I didn't have the gear to take this image. In the end, I ended up screenshotting two images of myself from a video I had of me doing a flip. I used my iPhone seven to take the photos and photoshop to make the edits. My picture is taken pretty much straight onto my subject. I didn't try too hard to use different angles because I only needed two images and like I said it was a video. I took quite a long time to choose what I wanted to do for my project because I really only had one shot at this. I didn't change anything from the original image because I liked it. I especially liked how the sun shines through the clouds and creates almost a hazy look to the photo. It wasn't difficult to pick the right photo because I had a clear idea of what I wanted and I just needed one image standing and one upside down. I am interested in continuing to create images with this sort of editing. I think they look quite interesting and I would very much enjoy making more of them. I used a collection of videos to edit this image. It was fairly difficult for me to get it right but when I did I was satisfied with the result.
