My Life
The overall message I am trying to convey with my image is that I a interested in Soccer, Star Wars, and traveling. The Background layer represents how I enjoy traveling. The selfie layer represents myself. The lightsaber layer represents how I love Star Wars. The soccer ball and soccer shoes layer represents how I play soccer. The main effects I used was just a small amount of contrast, brightness, and saturation changes to the background. The title of my image is "My Life" because it represents important aspects about me.

Human Nature
The background picture was taken of a stream near Olson pond. The selfie was taken in my room. I tried to match up the branches with my hair to make the image seem more natural. I also showed some of the branches leaving my head to represent how the human mind branches out to find creativity. This image is meant to spark feelings go creativity and wonder.
Juxtapose Artist Statement
The original selfie is is normal shot where I am facing the camera. The double exposure selfie is a profile shot. The original selfie is supposed to show my interests with physical objects covering the object but the double exposure is meant to showcase deeper human characteristics and show my own inner wilderness. Also, while the original selfie is just an image over a background, the double exposure is far more complex. The double exposure takes my outline and uses that as a border to store the background image of wilderness. The border is somewhat broken at the top letting some branches go free. I've grown as an artist in many ways. The quality of my pictures is higher, I've learned new photoshop techniques, and I know how to use the tools better and I know how to use more tools which greatly increases the quality of my art. I also believe I have become more creative as I've been coming up with better and more creative ideas for art as time has gone on.
