Portraiture:
The selfie:
The first ever selfie/ self portrait was taken in 1839 by Robert Comelius'.
A selfie is slang for self portrait, it is used today to take a self portrait easy and quick on a mobile phone and is mainly shared o social media. The selfie accounts for a high population of photographs people take. Around 24billion selfies where uploaded to the internet in 2016. I would say I take around 100ish informal selfies a week and just send the to my friends as a form of communication.

My London 2021:
www-i like the look of my collages because I think they look quite like how Ben Watts did he's work. I also think that putting the white paper then the blue card underneath the photo then putting rips in it make it look rustic and unique.
ebi- I think I could have not used the paint as text because it smudged and wasn't neat.

Valerie Kabis light and shadow developed:
I chose to develop Valerie Kabis because I like they style of her work and I think her photos shows portraiture in a different way. When I took photos I tried them in black and white but I thought it didn't show the best representation so I then inverted them. I really liked the inverted look because I thought it showed a better representation of her work and also showed the key features of my model.
I really like the photos I did of my friend which I turned it into black and white then added another layer on top of her face then made it a little bit transparent so that you would be able to see the layer underneath.I took a different approach on Valerie Kabis work by not doing a lot of movement in my images but instead used still images with an opaque layer on top to create a movement type of photo. I liked these because I think they looked very unique and shows my take on Valerie Kabis's work very clearly.
