When I was brainstorming about what to photograph, I wanted to use objects that represented who I am and kind of told a visual story. I specifically chose each object to represent different parts of my life. For example, the maps on the note book represents my love for travel, and the the old pages represent the old books that I like to collect and read. I wanted the colours to be warm and comforting, so in post I changed the contrast and levels of shadows and brightness to create that feel. I wanted to portray a kind of dreamlike look with everything strewn around me. The same principles apply for the other photos. Except with the portrait of my cat, he looks very stern, almost stoic. His eyes stand out and make him look very intense. I wanted to portray a beautiful animal that could also look quite serious and I used editing in the app Polarr to achieve this as well.

The artist has made the girls body look like it is melting. She looks almost like she is disappearing or dying.The angle of her looking over her shoulder makes her seem distant and her expression kind of worried.The It almost looks as if she is strung together with twine. She is the focal point of the image.

The artist has made the girls body look like an art work. Her pale skin contrasts with her rich red hair and she is very central making you focus on the face as oppose to the plain background. The contrast between the skin and the paint emphasis the two girls as the focal point.
Her expression is intriguing and calm making her visually pleasing.

The artist has used symmetry with the two girls, herself being on the left. The contrast between the skin and the paint emphasis the two girls as the focal point.
The girls look intriguing and worldy because of there expressions and the painting. It makes them look unnatural and cool.
