This project was completed for Raster Graphics II at Ivy Tech Community College. The objective was to create a collaged portrait that tells a story using Photoshop.

Self Portrait, 2022.

To complete this project, I used the stock photos above and took an original self portrait.

The first steps I took were to edit the photograph of myself, perfecting my skin and clothes.

Next, I cropped the background photo and edited out imperfections on the table.

I extended the width of the warp on the loom so that there would be more space for the photograph.

I cloned a solid texture of a weaving onto the loom,

then arranged the photo where I wanted it to be placed,

before masking it onto the weaving and changing the layer's mode to allow the texture to show through the photograph.

Then, I changed to overall hue of the weaving to a neutral color,

and adjusted the lighting to make the weaving appear as though it was originally a part of the image. Finally, I adjusted to color of the background to be more neutral and fit the overall feel of the image.
