The first assignment I created, I wanted it to be simple yet fun. I thought about the daily creates we have done and just assignments in general.
I personally dislike taking pictures of myself. I am not a very photogenic person because I don’t really have that “beautiful look.” But there are times when I take a picture and I think, “awwh that was cute.” So in creating an assignment I thought about those moments. Those moments when you just feel beautiful. And it is those moments that you want to pause and just be grateful for the beauty you see in yourself.
I like and chose this picture because I have my hair curly. I NEVER wear my hair curly because it tickles my face a lot. I also love this picture because you can see my one dimple showing. Yes, I only have one dimple.
The editing changes I made were simple color changes basically. One of the pictures is in an antique looking style. I really like those “old time” looking pictures because it makes me appreciate the change in photography over time. Another of the pictures just has them “orangist” glossy look to it. I personally like it because it makes my skin look flawless and my teeth look SUPER white. The last of the photos has a purple color on it. PURPLE IS MY FAVORITE COLOR IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD. I sometimes wish there was purple snow(why I’m not sure).
This is why I called this assignment, “Pause [Four] A Moment.” Here is what you do.
1. Take a picture that you like of yourself.
2. Edit it 3 different ways
3. Put all four of the pictures in a collage together
4. Upload it to flickr
5. Embed it in your post
6. Explain why you love this picture and why you made the changes you did
It is just that simple. It gives you, the artist, a chance to take a pretty picture of them and make it into different pictures. It allows you to see yourself differently. You can just make simple color changes, or drastic changes to show why you are grateful for your beauty.
