Alter Ego

    Alter Ego

Photographer: Olivia

Location: sdspa

Model: Myself

For this shoot i was assigned to come up with an alter ego shot as well as an everyday shot, where a contrast would be seen of myself. I wasn't sure what to do for an alter ego at first because i felt like my personality is very straight forward and i didn't want to portray myself as something Im just not. Everyone in the the class wanted me to be "preppy" because it would be a good contrast to my everyday life. I decided that if i was "preppy" or even just a bit more dressy i could manage it as long as it was in a natural scenery. So i decided for everyday and my alter ego to be in the same general area and minor differences in the body shape. For my regular shot, Olivia and I had small issues with lighting at first but we solved it easily and the shot was easy and quick because i pretty much had the image in my head and directed her on my preferred angle. For my alter ego, which we shot second, i was a little skeptical as to how close we would get the angle in comparison to the first shot but with a skilled photographer anything is possible and it came out very well. I took both shots into photoshop and mirrored the alter ego shot to make it look like my alter ego was on the other side of the tree. I was really happy with the way this assignment came out and I believe other people liked it aswell because even my dad said it looked like i had a twin.
