Photographic truth reflection

            For this project we had to choose images from the past. It could have been a previous war, or a natural disaster, or anything that fit the description of the past.  We were told that for this project we had to alter ourselves, well the images of ourselves into the images of the past. I started off by going online and choosing the pictures from the past I would be using. Then I looked at the images I had chosen and then I planed of different ways to take the photographs for myself. Then I went to the original past images and used the crop tool to make them a certain size. Then I incorporated the certain parts of the photograph I wanted to be in the past images, like my face and etc. Then I used variations and filters to make my pictures blend in. The phrase photographic truth to me means to be able to manipulate images to change their meaning, and make ourselves look like we were at that place, at that time in the past.

            For my book, I decided to alter images from titanic. But more specifically Rose. I wanted to be her, and be next to jack. I only added my face to all of the images I decided to alter. I used the polynomial tool to help me cut my face out. I also used variations to make my face blend in a little better with the persons skin tone. This project was difficult because I had to plan ahead of time how to pose, and if a pose didn’t look right even if you tried to rotate it then I would have had to take another.

            The theme I chose was Titanic, but instead of having it in color I decided to turn it black and white, because the actual titanic was a very long time ago. I chose this theme because I fell in love with the movie, and even though it might have been very different from the real titanic, the love story between jack and rose was just amazing. I do not know exactly how having my face instead of rose makes it different. I guess I just wanted to be with jack.

            I feel that this project wasn’t my best work. I know I tried hard but I still didn’t like the outcome. This project just wasn’t the way I pictured it. Out of all six pictures I only liked the second one, and then the rest I dislike. I feel that even though it didn’t come out how I wanted it to, I still worked hard, and that’s what matters. If I could change this project, maybe I would of used different images, and different posses.
