Part 1:
Composition: A dyptic of two pictures that present a subject lit with natural lighting from the back that comes through a curtain.In one of the pictures the subject is looking outside and beyond and in the other he is looking through a hand mirror to the audience.
Concept: Identity and how we portray ourselves
Method: Natural lighting on the background and carefully frame the camera to be able to reflect the face of the subject..
Motivations: I was just looking for a cool way to portray myself in a selfportrait that didn't looked like one or had like a cool effect.
Context: Identity.
Part 2
Interpretation: People were interested on the picture and they thought it was a cool idea.
Evaluation: I think that the picture was too dark when printed, which led the medium tones to be almost darkened and removed. Still, the dramatic effect of the lighting made a strong dramatic impression on the picture.
Extension: self portraits are really really fun and I can see myself playing with this idea in the future. Maybe even making it part of my style.
