Photographic Truth Reflection

          To begin with, what I had to do to start this Photographic Truth project I needed six pictures. The six pictures had to be related. The steps that I went through to create my book were, first I had my six pictures that I wanted to be in. Second we had to take pictures which we had to pose in them. Once you had all of that then u cut yourself out then put yourself in the picture you chosen. The main thing was that the pose you took a picture of had to blend yourself in the image. Once you hade done all of that then you hade to print it out and then put it as a book. The way the phrase photographic truth refer to me as a photograph that is supposedly have to be true.

          My book is mainly about Kobe Bryant. The image that I had chose to alter was with the crowed, and a basketball player. The way that I added myself to the image was tracing myself put with the magnetic lasso. After I was done tracing myself I coped and then pasted myself on the image I wanted to be on. Then I blended myself in like if I was really there. The tool I used to  blend myself in was the blur tool because the place I was in I had to blur myself so that I could blend in with the rest.

          The theme that I was going for was for a person that looked up to Kobe Bryant and at the same time a player in the NBA. The reason why I chose that theme was because I want to become a grate player as him, being able to go to the NBA and be good as him. The way that my presence alter the meaning of the image by making me look like a player and a fan at the same time.

          What I have learned about photographic truth is that anyone could forge an image. What I have learned new about in this new project was the blending of the images to make it look real. I like this assignment because it was something I have never done before. I didn’t find this project difficult at all because if you put your mind to something you could do it. I was very successful in my creation because I meat the goal that I was looking for, which was to make it look realistic. What I would do differently the next time is to look for the things that I would need as quick as possible to I could have more time to make it even better.
