I made this image for a self portrait assignment in the photography class. As first really struggled to make an interesting image for this assignment, but after some self reflection, I was able to push myself pass surface level thinking. I began to think about what message I wanted to convey to the viewer in addition to thinking about composition, light, and color. At first I thought that this image didn’t qualify as a self portrait becuase my face was not in the image. But I then realized that my face not being in the image actually made the message more powerful. The main concept of this image is that your perception of yourself is often cloudy and not representative of how others see you. It was interesting being both the subject and artist because I had to focus on the composition of the image and also how my hand looked. My finger is positioned pointing accusatorially which shows the ineer turmoil that is represented in this image.

Creativity to me means looking at the world from a different perspective but using my camera to notice details of my surroundings that I would normally miss. Creativity also allows me to take a break from my busy life and just exist in the world.
