Alter Ego assignment. Inverted trees look snazzy.

How does this image show your alter ego?

It shines light on a simpler side of me. The side that isn't wild and impossible to contain. I'm reserved and calm, often taking medication to alleviate stress. The colours are darker and more contrasted to show the difference between me and my alter ego. I'm also lost in the colours around me, the trees and graffiti, I'm obsessed with its detail and quality.

 

What aspect of your image do you find most successful and why?

Me sitting on the dryer on the left side. I enhanced my legs to skew into the tree and be lost in its white contrast. It's interesting to me. And I love how well it worked.

 

What aspect of your image do you find least successful and why?

The round gradiented cracks around the trees. It's behind the black brush strokes and isn't sharp, detailed, or well contrasted. I don't think it should have even been left white, I should have inverted it like the trees.

 

If you could do this project again, what changes would you make to improve it? 

I would focus on another side of me, something more colourful and extroverted. I'd focus on well-contrasting colours and have more poses of me interacting with each other. I would have also increased the size and taken my own pictures to be used as backgrounds and effects.
