Self Portrait

In class we were given a small assignment to complete over the weekend. The task would build upon our knowledge of what we have been previously learning ,during the day about images and the power in which they create socailly in terms of  representation. We were asked to take a self portrait photo of things in which we thought would represent us the most and what the image would say about the type of person that we were. Thinking long and hard about the image in particular in which I wanted to portray I decided to take a picture of three things in which I felt meant the most to me in general.

• My tie with the Ghanain flag on it
• My Woolly hat which portrays the Ghanain coat of arms
• My Ghanain football jersey

Being of Ghanain/Brittish origin I felt that it was inportant for my self protrait to portray a reflective view I took a picture of the ghanain memrobilia which I had in my bedroom. I wanted the colours in the picture to say something aout me as well so I made sure that the colour white was the most dominant colour in my photo even in the background, so it could reflect the type of person I am in everyday life. I wanted the color white to relfect that I am a calm well mannered person who tries to see the good in people no matter what race of cultural background in which they are from. Which is why the black Ghana tie is positioned directly to the side of the white tie followed by a dominant black and white theme throughout my image.
