Spring has Sprung

For this project we were told to do a 9x9 canvas and use self portraits to fill the squares. My outfit was very spring like and the tree outside had blossomed with flowers. Spring was my inspiration! I also used different filters to change the image. I used the tile tool and lots more that I can't remember off the top of my head. This project was all about experimenting and getting to know the filters. I created the background by taking a picture of dogwood flowers and duplicating it multiple times. I used a lot of symmetry and a strong center so that there is a focal point but then your eyes move to a different direction.
