Frida Kahlo Self Portrait

I think an important part of my identity is the experiences I have had and the things I have learned from them. Everything in my portrait symbolizes an event in my life that I have learned from. For example the rabbit towards the back of the river represents when my parents got me a bunny; it was my own pet and by taking care of it I learned a lot about responsibility; the lessons I've learned from this has added to my identity, and I apply what I learned all throughout my life. Each symbol in my picture represents the valuable things I've learned and are a part of who I am today. 

Animated Photomontage Process

For my animated montage I decided to photograph some orchids, I think they are very beautiful and they would create a nice composition with their bright colours.

I began by photographing pink and white orchids in my house. I wanted the lighting to be very light and natural, to help emphasis the lovely colours of the flowers therefore I took these photos in the morning on a sunny day.

I had some trouble starting my photomontage, I was unsure how to get the photos to fit together. From the advice of our student teacher, I decided to first create my work on photoshop and play with the sizes and different ways I  could compose my photomontage.
