My Hidden Self

Reflection- My Hidden Self

This image shows my alter ego because it displays the side of me I rarely display to the world. My secrets, my hidden self. The holding hands shows the trust I demonstrate towards my closest friends, but can fail to show to anyone else. The camera displays a hobby of mine- photography which I have only share with my family members. I secretly dream of one day skydiving which is shown by the parachutist. I also think of getting married and having children which is shown by the couple on top of the cliff under the tree. I showed birds because I am deathly afraid of them. Lightning is on my image because I love thunderstorms. The Eifle tower is on my image because I wish I could travel to Paris, a plane is also on for this reason.

The most successful aspect of my image is where the hands are holding across the screen. I find this successful because of the changed opacity, positioning, colour and what it brings to the image. The positioning of the image is successful because it brings both sides of the image together. The colour is successful in this image because it is black and white and most of the other pictures are coloured. It brings more intensity to the image. The least aspect of my image is the airplane and the birds in the sky. I find this not successful because the birds are flying on top of a plane, which appears to be crashing.

If I could re-do this assignment I would change the picture of me. I would change the image to a picture of me that held a more intense look or that demonstrated more my ‘hidden self’ that would go with the theme of the picture more. I would also use a full-coloured picture with less opacity.

My Hidden Self

Some things people might not know about me are: I eat ketchup with almost everything, I love thunderstorms, I am deathly afraid of birds, my favourite place I've been to is Niagara Falls and I microwave all of my sandwiches before I eat them.  Most hours of the day, I appear to be independent, creative, friendly- but shy around those I don't know.  But other times, I can be more talkative and demonstrate more openness toward those I trust.  I wish I could develop more of a sense of trust and be more outgoing.  I also wish to develop a greater sense of communication with others.  I dream of someday getting married and raising children- I also think of how exciting it would be to be on a game show or to go skydiving! I would love to travel to Europe to see countries like Germany or France.
