Last Thursday, my friend Lis Bokt and I went to the small park off Park St. and Crosstown Pkwy. in Kalamazoo to shoot some pictures of yours truly. It was incredibly awkward, but she managed to get some really nice shots. Of these, I selected one picture that looked fairly natural and had some great value distribution to create a self portrait.
Here is the original picture:
I took a few liberties... like being at a beach instead of a small park in Kalamazoo. And getting rid of my moles/freckles (I'm lazy...)
If I had a bit more time, I'd work on the blending some more, but overall I'm really happy with how this turned out.
