Transformed Selfies

I have been creating photos of self-portrait in different characters or personalities. This is a slide show I created to show you the pictures of myself. Took me two days to create this slide show. You will see me dressed in different characters with make-ups and costumes, and also pictures of myself as Eddie, but in different styles and different personalities. I only used iPhone to take the pictures, but I went beyond just taking selfies. I used PicsArt app, Instagram, and PhotoShop Editor to be able to create photographic effects or manipulations. It has been a lot of fun to do this. I have thought of doing self-portraits for a long time while I was thinking of Cindy Sherman and Robert Mapplethorpe as the most influential photographers. Therefore, I decided to go ahead by taking advantage of those widely available high-tech approaches: Using iPhone with PicsArt, Instagram, and Photoshop Editor. This turned out a good way to show you my photos because printing them out and framing them are expensive for me as of right now. I do want to do the printings and framings, then exhibiting them in a gallery down the road.
