Double Exposed Portraits

Portrait photography is a photo of one specific person or a whole group of people that shows the expression, mood and personality of the person or group. It is usually of the persons face but may include the rest of the body in the background. Since a profile view is of a persons face only showing one side, it can relate to portrait photography because it is still a picture of someones face. Silhouetting is usually a person, object, animal etc. that is black or darkened so it becomes black and plain so the background stands out and causes that shadow look on the silhouette.
Double Exposures are created in Photoshop by you first start by loading the photos into a stack. Then you rotate, resize and crop the image. After that you do blend mode and you change it to screen. Then you change the color tone, and avoid "happy mistakes" or just work on the quality of it. Then you are done! You would want to make a Double Exposure because it makes your picture turn out amazing and also it's very creative. You would want to make this kind of artwork because, it just shows the true beauty of who you really are especially if your pictures in the background are of your life.
The symbolism in my two examples are of my life and my school. My practice one(the first one)
is pictures of the plants and trees at our school during a class session. Then the second photo example(my final one)has two photos. The first picture is of Hanakapiai falls which is located here on Kauai. It is my favorite place to hike and my favorite to swim under a waterfall. Then the second picture is of my backyard. I have a river and it leads all the way down to Kealia Beach on the East Side of Kauai. The quality of my worked could've improved in the layer effects part. I feel like I could have added more to it to make it look way more cool. Overall I think it turned out pretty good though.

  11. Your waterfall looks amazing and that your use of adjustments layers is completely stunning. Your message is kinda cool since it tells you that you love nature. One thing you could have improved on its that your placement of the image and that I really want to see more of the waterfall.

  12. Woah! Great job Sydney! I love how visible you made both pictures!
    I think you could improve by having the waterfall be more of a focal point.
    I especially like how your eyes are still visible in your portrait!
