Double Exposed Portraits

Portrait photography is basically taking pictures of people's faces and it can only be a human. In a portrait you have to see both sides of the person's face or else its a profile, Portraits also can be better if they are HDR. The main similarity of a portrait compared with profiles and silhouetting is that they are all pictures of a human faces. The differences are the fact that the pictures have different main elements like silhouetting is basically showing the outline of someones face and profiles are basically the sides of someones face. All three of these types of images are all very interesting to look at.

I think one of the things that are similar are that both have to deal with the face and doing something creative with it. I think that the different thing is that the portraits always have to be the full face of the person or else its not considered a portrait. Both silhouetting and profiles are mostly sides of people's faces. This is because the both are more meant to express creativity of the outline or something else of the face other than whats already on the face. In my opinion my favorite version is probably the profile since it is the most creative and you have a lot of options to change it.

First you got to have a vertical picture of yourself or someone and you got to make sure the background is mostly all one color. Then you take a picture of two things that symbolize you this can be taken any way you want it to. After you go into photoshop you go to File > Scripts > Load Files Into Stack. Then let photoshop do its thing and after choose the dodge tool and stroke around the profile. After your done crop it to 8.5 in by 11 in and 300 pixels then you double click the layer with you profile and and go to Blend Mode > Screen this will make your profile transparent and then you can arrange the other pictures. The other last thing you need to do is Layer > New Adjustment Layer > whatever effect you want.

  1. I like the content of your paragraph.
    One thing that can be improved is the message of your pictures.It is not clear because the pictures are not easily seen.
    I like the work that you put in your pictures.

  2. Your cow is so kawaii! Its a little bit hard to decipher what your symbols are. I love the color scheme, although it doesnt really make sense. Great overall job!

  3. My favorite part is that your final image has kind of a 3 Dimensional effect, it doesnt look like its on a screen.
    The reason your message doesnt work for me is one, the color, and I can't tell what your other symbol is.
    In order to improve this you need to show the other symbol.

  4. The cow and the bananas are pretty cool symbols but the banana is hard to see. I also like how the dodge tool adds some texture to it.

    Your message does not work because I cant tell what your symbols are.
    Your quality of work could of improved by making your symbols look better so that I can see what your symbols are.
