Personal Project: Studio Self Shoot

Even though I plan my shoots or have a rough idea of what I'm going to do. I sometimes find it hard to express exactly what's going on in my head and take a photograph of it. Like when you see something in real life and think it would make a really good picture but when you shoot it, it comes out not as you imagined it to be. I make plans of what I think would look really good as a photograph but it just doesn't work in real life. This happens to me often because I either get way over my head or just don't have the right model or subject to portray the idea I have.

Honestly, I had no idea what to do with this shoot. I knew I wanted to edit photographs of myself in different ways to show surrealism but I didn't know how to portray the ideas I wanted. I'm not the photogenic type that can just stand there and take a photograph of themselves. I have only Photoshopped two photographs, I haven't done anything to the others because, one, I didn't have time in the lesson, and two, I still need to think of good ideas. I have ideas, but they're just simple mainstream ones, I want to do something that will stand out from other surrealism work. That's going to be my personal goal, to look for tutorials on Photoshopping and find a unique surrealism technique that will stand out.
