Project development.

1 attempt.....

I came up with the idea of exposing my face with my family members faces after talking to Rebbeca. Which was an opinion I agreed with, because it was a self portrait project and having a peace of my family in my project will make it more interesting and meaningful. 

On this stage I was not really impress with my idea on my project, for me it looked simple and I really wanted to add more elements and make it look more interesting.











This thought got me experimenting on the other effect on photoshop, thinking back on the negative effective idea I did earlier on my photoshop experiments.

  














I was also not impress with this, so I fiddle and practice with the other tools and effect on the toolbar on Photoshop.

  I manage to find a effect I really liked on the tool bar.

I really liked this effect, I like what it does to the contrast of the image, but the one thing I wasn't satisfied with is the way the two images are exposed.

So I was thinking about how I really like how Dan Mountford ideas of exposing buildings and a self portrait together, gave me an idea. I wanted to use images of places I'm familiar with, places I'm always around like my community, I wanted to use this idea because it has a familiar meaning to the reason why I wanted a family member in my self portrait on my first idea.
I took photos of the:
-Otara shopping center,
-The MIT Creative Arts buildings
-Manukau Westfield Mall building
These three places are the places I see everyday, and some how I have develop a feeling of comfort being around the these places, but not just the looks  but also the people I meet and the people I share the places with. I just have a personal connection to these places.              

 So now a had a main idea to base my project on, so I started putting my project together.

Final out come..
