SELF-PORTRAIT | 2016
An old photo I took of myself that I found on one of my external hard drives. At the time I was taking an online photography class though high school and was feeling creative. I wanted to make the photo more "epic" so I adjusted the color balance, exposure, brightness/contrast, and enhanced the eye with layer masks and curve adjustments.
I took so many photos just to get this one good one, it's hard when you can't see what you are doing because you are both the model and photographer.
Watermark: I created my logo in Illustrator and used a layer blending mode and adjusted the opacity.
