We have learned several ways to manipulate our original photography and how to use different techniques using Photoshop. We are getting better at exploring what we can do on our own more and more.  Photoshop is a powerful tool and I am always proud when my students learn some new technique by self discovery.  Learning by intrinsic motivation is so much more rewarding.
Here are some wonderful ideas-

Self Portrait Narratives Explored

I am excited to share the results of some of our talented students works.  We merged indirect portrait images with portraits from our in class portrait lesson.  Students then merged filters, layers, brushes, and some text to create a visual narrative based on a reflection of themselves.
