More psychedelic images for my final

 This is a "Psychedelic" Portrait of Evyn. This photograph is a composite of 3 different images (2 using gels). A normal person looking at Evyn may see nothing out of the ordinary but no one truly knows what a person is seeing in their own mind. I wanted to blur the lines between what is real what is an illusion. 
 This is a photograph of a glow stick on my record player with a slow shutter speed. I also used my portable flash with a snoot to light up the record. I picked "Lose Yourself" by Eminem because I feel those words show how psychedelic imagery portrays a loss of control over your mind and distortion of the senses.
This is a self portrait involving mirrors. I was going for the infinity mirror just like the one in the movie Inception, however I have not been able to get a successful shot of that yet. This is one of my failed attempts that I think is still a successful image.

Me and Daniela (my cousin) went around Toronto to find amazing graffiti.
