Since I’ve started to look at this assignment, things have changed. Or this should read guidelines have been put in place by the government. Simply put, we are staying indoors until told otherwise.
I’m currently on easter leave from work, but this is still an unknown whether it is going back to Kent or working from home until we know more.
Today I tried my hand with self-portraits using the 50-140mm f2.8 lens on the Fujifilm XT3 along with some cheap lights I brought during EYV. After trying to see how the sun would be and a black backdrop. I changed to a light coloured sheet attached to the blinds.
Using the Fuji app with my xt3, I’m able to adjust everything from my phone and not run back and forth to the camera.
The idea is to be creative and think outside the box. The previous notions of using layers and different pictures to create one picture are still the direction I’m going. However, this time I’m using myself as in the portrait and some of my isolation exercise images I’ve been capturing during this lockdown with COVID-19.
Youtube has been a wealth of knowledge, seeing how I can blend layers and use multiple images to create one. I’ve used double exposure during this course and EYV, but never experimented with layers in photoshop like this. Yes, I’ve added things like in previous exercises and just the other night after the super moon.
By blending the layers and dodging and burning to empathise certain areas of my face so you can still see me as a portrait.
