Self Portraits

Family is really important to me and since I will be graduating in a week, I think this photo works really well for a self portrait. My cousin, Angie, is 15 days younger than me and people would often mistake us for twins when we were younger. I took this picture of her and our cousin's daughter at Angie's graduation. I adjusted the color balance, applied a Blur to the background, enhanced their eyes and clone stamped a truck out of the background.


I took this picture at my cousin's graduation last weekend. The timeing was just about perfect and I managed to catch most people and their caps in the air. I am using this for a self portrait because I am nearing Graduation myself and this has largely been my frame of mind since spring break. I cropped the photo, adjusted the colors and contrast and clone stamped out the school name.


This photo was taken on the Outdoor stage and because of the natural shade in the courtyard, I think the lighting came out very nicely. In photoshop, I made my eyes pop and made color adjustments. I also applied a Guassian Blur to the background.
