Experiment 1:

• 

• 

• 

I first edited both photos exactly how I would with any of my images and I then added each image on two seperate layers. I went around the reflection of myself in the mirror with the lasso tool and copy and pasted it onto a new layer. I then deleted any unwanted parts so that I would just be left with the image of myself that I outlined. I then aligned it in the mirror and I turned down the exposure and shadows so that I would blend in better with the other image. When I first pasted the cut out section into the other image, it appeared too light as they both have different exposures, so I adjusted it slightly as to have the same intensity of light.

Experiment 2:

• 

• 

With this photograph, I first edited the original photo to a black and white version and after I carried out that process, I blurred out my face. Once my face was blurry enough, I scribbled over my face with the brush pen in white and draw the top surgery scars in light grey where my chest is. I then decided to write “This is freedom” to signify that these surgeries can be freeing for trans people.

Here are some edits I tried doing for this image, just to figure out where I wanted the writing to be placed.
