Selfie Project Reflection: One of my main goals with this self portrait was to highlight the nature around me. I have always loved the outdoors and going on adventures to explore. Additionally, I love the vibrant but also contrasting colors in this picture. There are the darker pine trees lower to the ground, while the taller trees have their bright green leaves and openings that allow the sun to shine through. I chose to take this picture during the day because I wanted to emphasize the beautiful shades of green and the bursts of color and details on the bark of the large tree. I think the different greens and bright colors express energy and excitement. In this self portrait, I chose to make myself small compared to the tree and the nature around me. We are all like small organisms living in a vast world of nature that engulfs us. I find it so fascinating how the natural world has a way of making us feel small. With this picture, I wanted to express my crazy and adventurous personality while also showing my calm and peaceful side to balance it out. I think this picture is reflective of who I am. I love to make the crazy climb to the top but also love slowing down to appreciate the beauty around me.
