Silhouette

In the image, you can see the clear silhouette of a house on a cliff side as well as the ocean. You can also make out the outline of someone within the water. You can also see the sun just peaking over the top of the cliff with a few clouds just in front of it.

The image was taken whilst on a family trip, and this was about midweek after an evening on the beach just relaxing and watching the sun set. My initial thought was to just get the shot and see how it turns out and at first it didn't work out because it was too bright to make out the silhouette or the image was too dark to show it was a silhouette. Something about the picture which I enjoy is how the sun lights the sky and creates different colours ranging from blues to orangey red colours within the image. 

Self Portrait; Confused Tigger

For the self portrait image, I decided that it would be easier and more meaningful, on a personal level, to create the image without using any part of my body.

Within the image, you can see multiple things. There’s a toy Tigger leaning against a stack of CD’s. The toy has a set of leopard ears on top of its head, and it’s holding an iPod and a pen and on top of the CD’s is a phone.

This represents many aspects of my life which make up who I am today. The toy Tigger represents my obsession with Tigers which I've had since a young age. The leopard ears represent not only the desire to be different, but also ties in with the cat theme. I'm often one for doing things my own way, and I'm not particularly bothered if things match up or not. This represents that in many ways. The CD’s and iPod represent the love I have for music, and how big a part of my life it is, as though they’re two separate things, CD being the hard copy and the iPod being a digital version. The phone and iPod also represent technology and how much I use it, whether it is for photography, music or just keeping in touch with the world in general. Like music, technology is a big part of my life. The pen represents writing, as I’m often found with my notepad, taking down notes, ideas or simply doodling. It’s an outlet of different emotions and feelings.
