For this final self-portrait, I wanted to capture my "dreamer" self. This particular photo was an original photograph of me at a local hiking spot in my hometown. However, I photoshopped and cut myself and the cliff edge out and inserted myself in Italy (yay!). Because why not?
I have the pleasure of going to Italy this summer on my study abroad trip, which has been a dream of mine for years. This particular background is Cinque Terre, a very colorful, lively, and fun Italian coast that I am planning on visiting for a weekend.
Additionally, I photoshopped some of the very popular vibrant flowers that Italian is known for. I absolutely adore, adore, adore flowers. I chose to do this particular type of effect in Photoshop because I wanted it to appear as a painting. Something that is dreamed upon but hasn't been achieved yet. I absolutely love the vibrance within the colors of my photoshop collage though. I find it to be truly beautiful and makes me even more excited I get to spend 6 weeks abroad this summer.
Don't be afraid to make your dreams come true! :)
