Very edgy thanks Lia

When I think of a center frame portrait, i see them as reserved for important people or for main characters in a narrative. Center frames are for protagonists. That got me to start thinking about what kind of protagonist I would be. It’s no secret that I really like punk culture and fashion. So when I think of what protagonist I’d be, I decided that I wanted to be a cool rock n roller. That kind of character that you would see in a faded polaroid. So, I donned my edgiest outfit and sat in my tub, in the dark, and took pictures. I then edited it to look like an older printed picture. I added a blueish tint to it to make it feel a bit sadder. I wanted the loneliness to come through in the way the photo is taken. You would expect a punk protagonist to have their photos taken by some kind of photographers, and not sitting in a tub alone and taking selfies. I liked the added layer of my eyes looking a bit sad. I made sure I aligned myself at the center, but because my body is mostly on the left it looks a bit off center. I’m actually very happy with the finished result.
