Artist Statement: There are many reasons why I chose these pictures for the selfie / Double Exposure image. The first picture is a selfie of myself, and I chose this picture because I liked the way that I look in it. The second picture I chose was the Arsenal photograph. I took this photo of the Arsenal logo because Arsenal is my favorite soccer team, and in the Double Exposure image, it's placed over my heart because Arsenal is always in my heart. The third picture I took was a photo of my soccer ball. I love playing soccer, and I just felt that my Double Exposure image would be incomplete without it. The soccer ball is placed over my brain because soccer is always in my mind. Lastly, the background of the photo is a picture I took while on the way to school one day. I wanted some brighter colors as the background of my Double Exposure image, and I feel that this photo really completes the image in a perfect way.
Artist Statement/Compare and Contrast: I like this new double exposure more than the original one. There are a few reasons why I like it more. To start off, the picture/selfie of myself is farther away from the camera, which I think adds a cool perspective to the image. Second off, the background I chose to do was buildings and a mountain (with the picture being taken when I was in an airplane) and I really like this background. The editing was also a lot better than in my first double exposure. The final reason I like this more is that the quote fits the image really well, because I took the background photo from an airplane and the quote is related to an airplane.
