Bournemouth MADE Application - Digital Self-Portrait

“Look at these people, at their eyes. They're sparkling.
They love blood. They love action."
- Birdman (2014)
Movies have always inspired me. I decided to work on my self-portrait inspired by these lines from the movie Birdman.
Original Image
​​​​​​​Though I often find myself behind the camera or the monitor, my mind is always racing as if in an intense battle, simulating the vast visual possibilities that can be derived from the raw images we shoot and edit.

Other Elements Used
My experience with the camera and some postproduction tools, made me realize how important it is to have an energetic mind, to catch the endless possibilities a string of visuals can contain.
Final Digital Self-Portrait
This picture here was originally captured at a calm and serene environment of a hospital. Overlaying this picture with a very contrasting visual of a battlefield was a choice I made, to depict my belief in the power of imagination. The same power that has gifted us some of the greatest movies of all times.
Adobe Photoshop was used to create this digital self-portrait.
