In these photographs I see myself being changed from effects on Photo Booth, first I've been mirrored, then looking like a alien, and next a negative. The equipment that I used was the computer and using Photo Booth to show these effects of selfies. This reminds of when I was younger I use to as well use Photo Booth and take loads of photo of funny faces using the effects. These images are way different to real life because you can't be mirrored except identical twins, but you can't have a squished up face and you can't be a negative. My favourite is the first one because you can experiment with mirroring in different ways so it looks abstract. |
EBI:
I think these photos are quite successful because the images look abstract because it's not real life. I think people would't be that interested because it's not eye catching and I could experimented more and maybe added a background. I would remember the photo of me looking like an alien. I have learnt to experiment with Photo Booth. |

In these photographs I see photographs I took of myself from Photo Booth. All of the images I took of myself were mirrored, I experimented with mirroring because the mirroring was the best effect from Photo Booth. In these photographs I realise each image had a different variety of colours and textures. The equipment I used was fabrics, cloths, foil, magazines, and scissors. My favourite image that I like the most is the one that looks like a circle. I picked this image because I didn't know I could make a circle out of my hands and using mirroring as an effect. Also, the mirroring on my favourite photograph has another pattern on the collar of my t-shirt. |
EBI:
I think these selfies of me are very successful because each image shows different mirroring, patterns, colours, shapes and textures. I think some people would like my work if they saw it because they might think has cool effects and colour. I would definitely remember the image of the mirroring of triangles with my face coming up a lot of times around the image. I have learnt to experiment with mirroring in different ways. |

In these photographs I can see myself with a plastic bag on my head representing Garrett Gee from The Bucket List Family. I tried finding clothes that represented him but I couldn't find anything so I wore this jumper to cover my school uniform. The equipment I used was a jumper from school, plastic bags, chalk for the colouring on the plastic bag. I recognise that I drew Garrett Gee on the plastic bag. These photos remind me of when I watched The Bucket List Family on Youtube. These photographs interests me the most of this work is the drawing on the plastic bag of Garrett Gee. |
EBI:
The only thing that is effective is the drawing on the plastic bag. I think other people wouldn't really like this work because I should of picked a person who is very famous so the people who saw these photographs would recognise who I am. I f I could do this task again I would of picked Elvis Presley because he was the king of rock n roll and everyone knows who he was. Next time I would use the clothes that Garrett Gee actually wears (Blue t-shirt and yellow trousers). Also next time the person who was taking a photo of me they should only take a photo of half of me. That you don’t see the skirt. |

I actually relish this task because used variety of mirrors such as big and small, clean and dirty, blurry and scratched mirrors. I experimented by placing a small mirror on a tree and it produced an interesting effect. I loved the tree log because it has beautiful textures, tones and surfaces. I also loved how the mirrors resembled the filters on Photo Booth. My favourite photo was the one with the tree branch covering my face. It's a little bit mysterious as the person behind the camera is blurry therefore, we don't know who it is. Also, the face is divided by the twig, which creates a double smile. |
EBI:
The photos could be improved if there was more sun to provide better lighting. Also, if I explored different environments for example, the woodlands, the beach, city centre, river, mirror hall and prison. Different types of filters such as monotone could have also been interesting to explore. |
Vivian Maier (February 1, 1926 – April 21, 2009) was an American street photographer born in New York City. Although born in the U.S., it was in France that Maier spent most of her youth. Maier returned to the U.S. in 1951 where she took up work as a nanny and care-giver for the rest of her life. In her leisure however, Maier had begun to venture into the art of photography. Consistently taking photos over the course of five decades, she would ultimately leave over 100,000 negatives, most of them shot in Chicago and New York City. Vivian would further indulge in her passionate devotion to documenting the world around her through homemade films, recordings and collections, assembling one of the most fascinating windows into American life in the second half of the twentieth century.

“Well, I suppose nothing is meant to last forever. We have to make room for other people. It’s a wheel. You get on, you have to go to the end. And then somebody has the same opportunity to go to the end and so on.” – Vivian Maier

In this collage I see different photos of what represents myself. In this collage I recognise different shapes/ patterns and I love how I cut some of the images so you can see through the image with different images underneath. The equipment that I used was my iPhone, printed images, scalpel, cutting mat, A3 paper, and scissors. This collage reminds of holiday and travelling with my family at summer. The thing that interests me the most in this collage is the colours and shapes, e.g. the guitar on top of the mountains underneath. |
EBI:
I think this collage is very successful because it shows what represents me and I love the images I took of when being on holiday. I think other people would astonish this work because the colours go really well together and the shapes/ patterns. I would remember the image of my guitar because I love playing on the guitar in my own time and that guitar represents me + Elvis Presley. I have learnt to experiment with my own layouts through imagination. |
Born in 1989 into an artistic family in the Black Forest, Germany, Alma Haser is now based in London and on the southeast coast. She is known for her complex and meticulously constructed portraiture, which are influenced by her creativity and her background in fine art. Alma creates striking work that catches the eye and captivates the mind. Expanding the dimensions of traditional portrait photography, Alma takes her photographs further by using inventive paper-folding techniques, collage and mixed media to create layers of intrigue around her subjects; manipulating her portraits into futuristic paper sculptures and blurring the distinctions between two-dimensional and three-dimensional imagery. |
