Portfolio

Image
  For my portfolio, I used the blog posts for each assignment and uploaded the inspiration photos and final projects for each project. I did not get to revisit all of the projects that I wanted to but hope that I can revisit them in the near future. I am excited to share my portfolio with my friends and family. 

Midsommar Somewhere Project

Image
 For my Somewhere Project, I put myself in the movie Midsommar. I was proud of the lighting and color matching, but I want to revisit this project and add more context to the photo. 

BW to Color Project

Image
I, like a lot of people, hate the dentist. Over the summer, I had a cavity drilled and took this photo for my mom. To make light of a less than fun situation, I decided to use this photo for my black and white to color project.  

Multiplicity project

Image
Using photoshop and the masking tool, I created six different versions of myself in my dorm room! This project was difficult because I was taking the photos by myself, so the camera moved a little bit. 

Poster- "It's Just What Happens When Girls Go Out"

Image
 During my first month of college at The University of Tampa, I felt pressured to go out to clubs. Every time that I did, I didn't have fun; There was always at least one creepy guy that harassed me and ruined it. I told my "friends" one day that I didn't want to go out anymore, and they told me that what had happened to me was, "just what happened when girls go out". 

Autoscopy Project

Image
  My autoscopy is deeply personal to me- it depicts me as not only an object being grabbed by hands in all directions but also as just a statistic of sexual assault. 1 in 3 women will be assaulted in her lifetime.  100% resolution jpg, 1.1 MB 75% resolution, 427 KB 50% resolution, 209 KB 25% resolution, 149 kb 0% resolution, 63 KB gif selective 64 colors, 101 KB gif restrictive 4 colors, 39 KB gif selective 4 colors, 156 KB gif selective 32 colors, 425 KB

Calligram

Image
 This project was extremely difficult for me. No matter how many things I changed, I never felt like the calligram looked like me. I am still proud of my project and think it looks cool, it just doesn't really look like me. Here is the original photo:  For this project, we were also asked to write a letter to ourselves in 20 years. This is what I wrote: Dear 38-year-old Sydney,  You’re almost 40… ew. The fact that a 40-year-old version of myself will one day exist may or may not have triggered a 30-minute panic attack anticipating the first gray hair I find or the first wrinkle on my face. Maybe the vanity in this statement will seem childish to you; I hope that there’s something in your life that makes your physically fleeting body feel irrelevant or at least less bothersome. I really can’t fathom who I would be in 20 years. Honestly, I’m still figuring out who I am right now. I hope that every morning I get to wake up and do something that I love. I’m not exactly sure of the di
