Portrait photography is a picture of the side of someone's face. It can't be called a portrait if you can see both eyes of the person's face. Another word for portrait often used by photographers is the word profile, basically the same concept but with a different word. It relates to
silhouetting because you can't really see any details of the project face really, but only the outline which somewhat resembles silhouetting.

Process of Final Project |
Double Exposed Portraits can be made in Photoshop by first resizing the person's face to fit the page. Then you use this dodge tool which when used makes a white background which you need for the portrait. Then you stack the two pictures that symbolize you! It could be a logo, your favorite place, your favorite food, etc. You then blend the pictures that symbolize you and the portrait to make one picture. I thought this was pretty neat and I wanted to try it because when I saw other finished product of Double Exposure I thought of how neat it looked and I really wanted to try it and plus I thought it would be really cool to try to symbolize how I am in a whole.
My symbols was a cloud with the sun behind it and a tree taken from
the below. The cloud was a symbolism of free-flowing spirit which was
suggested by a friend. The tree symbolized that I like to branch out and
find the brightest spots of life, just like a tree searches for the
brightest spot of sunlight. I could have improved by placing the two different pictures so that they covered every part of my body and yet the placement still made sense. I could have also made the two pictures more prominent and easier to find and distinguish but other than that I actually feel pretty good about it and honestly I think I'm better at Photoshop than I was last year.
