Assignment 3 - Portraits

This is my portrait of someone I know.  This is Matthew my roomate and with a combover he looks exactly like Superman which is something I've been telling him for years.  Using my other roomate's shirt I went to action replicating a classic pose of the man of steel.  This is probably the coolest photo I've ever seen in my life.
This is my self portrait, while it may seem relatively simple i believe its a representation that i all too often find myself in....bored out of my mind while trying in vain to study wishing i was doing something (anything) else.  The black and white of myself and the room accentuate (is that a real word?) my disinterest in my surroundings while the colorful butterflies show the subconscious fleeting randomized thoughts that are prob going through my head.

This is the portrait of someone I didn't know.  While not a lot is going on in this picture I just feel like its very representative of Pittsburgh and the southside.

  1. I really like the portrait of Matt because it is just a really awesome picture and it's extremely creative. I like how the picture makes the superman shirt pop out and you can just look at it and tell what the portrait is trying to portray. It's also really great how the alley is very dark so it really looks like he's coming right at you. Not to mention that combover is pretty amazing.
