Multi-faceted



In my Photo Montage project, I kept with the “selfie” concept, and took it this time as a way to represent the different aspects of my life that I deem important. I am a photographer, a reader, a dancer, a Tolkien junkie, a church-goer, a lover of dresses, a coffee drinker, a plaid fanatic, and much more-- but I also represented myself in my work uniform and my pajamas, and my normal every day clothes. I took photos of all these different personalities by dressing to the character and snapping shots over the course of four different days at multiple times of day, including 7:00 am, 3:00 pm, 5:00 pm, and 8:00 pm.
 I know that if a person was to take this montage out of context they may think “wow, she’s really vain and obsessed with herself” but what I wanted to show was the idea that every person has an un-imaginable amount of facets to their character and personality, and each of those aspects cannot represent the person fully. This montage simply represents a few aspects of who I am right now, and I think it is cool that I can make this and have it to remind myself in the future of what I thought was important or interesting about myself in September of 2015. Maybe some of these things about myself will completely change or develop more fully, and that will make it a really cool experience to look back on this project and see what has changed, when and if the time comes.
