Week 10 Weekly Photo: Self- Portrait


I had a friend assist me this week in setting up this image. The location was on a balcony I left the image with a yellowish tone because it was because I personally love the heat. Yellow is a warm color, therefore symbolizing it was in a hot environment. Which in the summer in Las Vegas, temperatures have been in the high nineties and low hundreds all week. I love it! Also, I wanted this image to be outdoors because I love the outdoors. I love taking photographs outside because it gives the subject a sort of natural beauty. The reason I chose to pose like I am curious about something is because I am a very curious type of person. Also, it is the first pose I could think of at the moment. What I absolutely love about this image is my shadow because the sun was facing from the upper left, as I posed to the right facing the camera in the opposite corner, the shadow looks like it is facing away from me. As I am sure most people do, when I am on a balcony, if I am not posing for a picture, typically, you will find me leaning on the fence. I love how the image I captured makes it look as though my shadow is doing that exact thing. Another detail I had noticed about this image is the leading lines. The fence around the corner and the shadow of the fence behind me, as well as the lines above me on the wall and the palm tree in the background, leads the common eye straight towards me; which is the subject of the image I wanted everyone to look at first. After the image was captured, I used Photoshop to digitally make it look nice.
