This is me. The name of the weekly photo challenge this week was controversy. After much thought, I came up with… gamers. People who devote hours of every day into playing multiple video games. A lot of people do not understand how or why they are able to do this. It is there passion, is my response. It is a way for them to escape to other lands, be another person, learn about the world, etc. In my opinion, gamers are typically highly intelligent and have super cat like reflexes. Others would give rebuttals such as, they could get knowledge from school; or they could not possibly be healthy being stuck in their house all day, staring at a screen, or other such remarks. People are different, let them stay different! If one chooses to live their life in a game, so be it. My photograph is representing myself as a gamer. For the process, I actually chose something a little different. Instead of setting a timer or clicking a remote button, I decided it may be easier to take a video. So I did! I shot a video of myself in different positions as if I were really playing a game, which I wasn’t at the time. Later, I went through the video on my laptop and took screen shots of each position. I then chose the ones I liked best and layered them together in Photoshop. I used the opacity levels on the layers to show a little bit of each one. It may not seem like it, but I even used the opacity on the clearest photo of myself. Then I used masks to single out the different positions. When I found the right combination, I adjusted the vibrancy, and the lighting. Then, that was it.
