For my alter ego I wanted to capture something really cold and snowy since this is not what I am familiar with at all. We live in San Diego where it is always warm and sunny and if it is chilly it is no where near a snowy village. That is the reasoning behind my choice to do a winter theme alter ego. I took the original photo of myself into lightroom and added some grain and took down the vibrance and saturation in order to fit the background image more.
