 A big thank you to my little sister and (lucky for me) professional model, Sarah-Wren, for helping me out as the subject of this photo shoot.

    The last three photos are beautiful! I love the colors and the complete negative space around the subject's face. I'm wondering how you got such great lighting, unless it was edited. I'd have to say my favorite is your fifth image, as so much of the figure is darkened by shadows, but there's just enough light that you can make out the shapes of the hair and neck. Also, following the rule of thirds, the subject's head being positioned on the side of the photograph is really eye catching, and also emphasizes the negative space. Well done!

      Thanks Shawn! The lighting was actually done by using a lantern outside our parents' house. It's an old house in the Old North End district of Colorado Springs so instead of streetlights, all of the houses have lanterns out front by the mail boxes that were converted to electric a decade or so ago. We used those to get the really dramatic lighting. It was super fun but tricky and I had to mess with the manual mode on my camera for half an hour before it looked like anything. I'm so happy you liked the pictures! :)

I have to say that this final project has motivated me to try something new with my selfies. I was glad to pick the reflected selfie because of the services, whether curved, vibrant, or multiple reflections of me in one picture. I used my mother's vehicle as a reflection, and I loved how the red tone reflected on the selfie, including the trees in the background. My favorite portrait would have to be me holding the crystal ball and catching my reflection upside down. The multiple reflections were a unique idea because they made me think of the hall of mirrors at the Carnival. I took the other photo at the bookstore, and they have Plexiglas, where you can see my reflection. I used a pizza cutter as a reflection, and I liked how the selfie turned out with the shape of the pizza cutter. Overall this was a fun and unique selfie experience. There are many ways to make a great selfie.
