My Self-Portrait

  About the Self-Portrait I am currently working on, it will be showing about me, what am I like, and most obviously, how do I look like when I am at the age of 18.

  Well, basically, this is my first time doing a self-portrait and instead of saying tough, I find it quite challenging.

  In this portrait, I inserted a bit of comical stuff  because I think that people is easily attracted to comical stuff and they can remember it easier. I'm an easy going guy, so I prefer my workings to be simple as well instead of complicated that you have to look really hard on it to understand it.

 This portrait contains three photos of what I am usually like, I made it black and white but left the accessories in colour as a focus point. Those three photos is a part of me, is what defines who I really am.

The athletic me is someone who has a passion in whatever he does and works hard on it. He likes to break a 'or many as shown in the photo' sweat and gives his all until the very last moment until success is in his palm. Like the Nike's motto, 'Just Do It' and you might have a chance to break through instead of sitting and doing nothing at all!

The lazy me is as important as the other two, it gives me the opportunity to recharge and a chance to do whatever I like. Life is meaningless if you just keep on working and never stop a moment to recollect yourself. Sleep, as it is the moment a new road can be built for you to walk further.

The artistic me has a keen eye on everything, including life. Pay attention to the surroundings around you as the nature is the greatest art created by God for us. I am a designer, training to be the God assistant one day to help continue His art work.

I'm quite the bright guy, I don't have many 'black' moments that i can recall of at the moment, so its hard to come by seeing my sulking in a corner, but here's a picture of me covered with 'dark matters', for fun of course...haha

About Self-Portrait

Well, this would be my first individual blog post and it's for my CTS class assignment.

What I am going to talk today is about self-portrait. I am pretty sure a lot of you have done a self-portrait once in your life time, especially when you're living in a time where everyone has a camera phone and taking a photo of yourself is as easy as breathing.

For me, self portrait comes in many types, it can be photographed, drawn, painted or even sculptured. It can be used to record a certain time or express your feelings. 

By looking at the painting above, painted by Frida Kahlo, you can approximately know that it was painted very long ago. Self-portrait is also a very good way to keep a certain memory of someone you do not wish to forget.

Nowadays, self-portrait is being photographed more rather than being drawn, and here are some of the examples of photographed self-portrait that I've taken a look on and found it interesting.

This is some of the collage that I found and I find it quite unique. It gives u freedom on how you want to edit, place or design your photograph. As you can see, you can also add more than one photograph in a photo and it gives your more choices on how you want to be expressed. 

will you focus on the unique shoes if it was not a collage?
or the details of the camera?

Other than that, collage also helps you focus on the different aspects of the photo rather than focusing on one point.
