Self Portrait Project

This is the second Creative Project for my Intro to Photoshop class. We had to do a self-portrait that was "collage-esque" and used elements that defined us.

I went with a Shell Silverstein sorta vibe with the "A Light In The Attic" sorta vibe, but switched the head attic/window out for a door, just for simplicities sake. The smoke coming from the door signals a fire within bc I'm alive and burning with passion or something. And the objects have a trail to them as they scatter out from my head door. As for the background, I mixed a shot of the day and night to get a kinda dusky feel (the dead of night is my favorite time of the day, but made the image a little too dark).

As you can see... booze, technology, and the arts play major roles in my life.
