Series of four

OK so this is my series of four. In my series I wanted to show that Mirrors can explain my life. It like how the mirror reflex my life through the appearance i wear or the emotions i can put on my face, and all of this is reflected back to me. The story behind these mirror series is that when growing up, i was a depressed child who constantly was tying to be reached by people around me so they could help me out of my dark and lonely childhood. i never cared about how i looked to the world and how my emotions were betrayed to others. i also never lived as a child who followed routines of a normal child's life. i was a mess growing up, but when everything around me settled down, and took its break from destroying the person i once was. i started to clean my life up, shape it and molded it in to a normal life, so i practice my emotions and how to hide them, also how to pick up a routine in living a day, like showering, appearance checks, sports that interact with others, and of course a bedtime were i could get the rest i needed before i started the whole living a day again. I asked my friend Becca to pose for me in this series of my meaning of a mirror and how i see it. she agreed because she knows how it is to be like me. i didn't really have to ask her how to pose, she seem to know what was expected. Lighting in my pictures were hard to bare since i didn't really plan the lighting to well. i short of went by the lighting that was provided in the room i used. Then once on the computer i enhanced the light and contrast, along with the expose. That why my series might look a tad bit on the bright side. Over all my series explains the practice and the shape of a new life i took up to cover the pass that i don't want to uncover again. living it once was enough, this is how this series explains my life.
