For this particular image, I really wanted to create conflicting imagery. I took many photographs of my face under a spotlight in the dark to create drama. I then added color casts using curves in Photoshop to add contrasting colors to the image. I used green and magenta. The small portion of magenta helps to highlight a small part of my face and brings attention to detail. I had a lot of fun creating this image. Working in Photoshop is one of my favorite things to do. I love layering images and changing opacity to create the effect I want. This is a psychological self-portrait showing the many layers of a person in turmoil. The week I made this I was very sick and was struggling to make my body do what my mind and heart wanted. I created this image hoping to show this.
