The overall message I was trying to convey with my images was that those were some of the things that describe me as a person. Layer 4 was a water bottle, it just represents water, and drinking water and how I like to be alive. Layer 1 was a football on some turf, and it represents how I love sports specifically football, and it’s always been my favorite sport, I played it when I was really little, so it’s really special to me. The background was my selfie, it’s just a picture of me. Layer 2 is my puppy Finn, he’s a 7 month old golden retriever, and he’s extremely special to me, because my childhood dog died almost a year ago, and it destroyed me, and we got a new dog a few months later to try to fill the void. Layer 3 was my bed in my room, I just really like to sleep and it makes me feel good and happy, especially in the summer when I could sleep to 3 p.m. These are just a lot of my hobbies and habits and things that make my life better all the time. I just chose these pictures for my selfie collage because they’re very special to me and they make my life better.
At the beginning of the trimester I didn't really know what I was doing. I didn't really understand how to get emotion and a story out of a picture. I really understand it now and I think this has made me a much better photographer having no personal experience before this trimester. The editing on my new selfie is much better than me old one, the layers look cleaner, the editing is better. I have just learned how to take better pictures and edit them better.
