March 14, 2012 – A year of portraits – Jim Pearson

Today I decided I wanted to do something different and so I’ve created this self portrait using eight photos shot on my iPhone 4S using the Shakeitphoto app. Now, of course I actually shot about 25 or 30 photos and then in the final portrait you see here I used eight that worked for the look I envisioned.

Each photo piece was brought into Photoshop CS5 and placed on a black background layer. I then played around with each picture on different layers until I had a look that I liked and that kinda made up my face, in an abstract sort of way.

Camera: Shakeitphoto App
Lens: no data
Exposure: no data
File Type: jpg

Post Processing
Was done on the iPhone using  the Shakeitphoto app. The images were then opened in Photoshop CS5 placed and layered for effect and then flattened to produce the final photo. I then converted the image to black and white which I like better.
