Picture of A Picture

Picture of A Picture

Location: San Diego River

Original Picture

Model: Riana

Location: 2836 clairemont

For the original shoot, i took over 300 pictures of the model around my house, walking away with many great shots. This is one of the more serene shots, where the model is under a lush green tree, holding vibrant flowers. It wasn't hard to achieve the look i wanted because the model was willing to pose and express very well. For the Picture of a Picture, I went to The San Diego River, near fashion valley. At first i took photos of a dry print of the shot in a filthy tree.  I liked these photos but the lighting wasn't as good as i wanted it to be. I decided to walk to the river and place one of my dry shots into the water. I took some photos of the picture just floating on top of the water but I just wasn't getting the vibe i wanted. I got a stick and dipped the picture in the water but it just sunk and the current caught so i had to grab it before it just went down stream. I placed the remaining pieces of the paper on a random board that was floating in the water and took a long shot of the photo on the board with the stream in the shot. I have not finished this project yet.
