Weather you want to be able to create pictures that include flawless skin or you are looking to create pictures that look like oil paintings, Nicole Anne can walk you through the steps of how to create images you desire.
SELF PORTRAITURE
Self-portraits have been done for ages. When painters began to value their talents and skills as more than just common work, an emergence of self-portraits begun. Now, they are done for a number of reasons. Self-portraits can be important if you need to have a professional photo of yourself done in your style for a business card or website. But, they are also a great tool for self-discovery though fine art. Some photographic artists have done nothing but self-portraits. Artistic self-portraits can be a reflection of ones outer self, inner, or can be a critique on outside elements, such as society. Cindy Sherman is a great example of someone who criticized the Hollywood movie industry through her own self-portrait work.
