My Self-Portrait

JFK and I with my dog.

Spring 2024

Photoshop

For my self-portrait I wanted to add myself to a historical picture. Might be a grim moment in history but in my searches it looked like one I could blend myself into the crowd. I’m also from Dallas. I cropped my head small enough and then flipped it to match the light better, I then added noise to my dog and I to match our surroundings better. This is my first time using Photoshop, and it was a little difficult, but I also am not the most tech savvy person.

I used my dog as my muse yet again. Though it might look like a humanoid dog thing with yellow hot dogs. I used shape builder and text and many other things. I tried to use gradient filter but I couldn’t get it to work. Some feature were tough for me, but I did what I could. Mia likes it and that’s all that matters.

So I made some adjustments. I cropped my image and flipped it horizontally. I also added my dog into the front seat of the car. I played with the layers including noise. Hope its better this time. Thanks

My first post

Hey, this is my first go at the self portrait. It definitely needs some work. I wanted to add my self to some kind of historical picture. Like Forrest Gump.
