Week old update

October 14, 2017 By Rodrigo Villarreal

A little late but… I finally finished my self-portrait!

I spent my whole long shift last Saturday working on my STA portrait. It definitely took me longer than I originally thought. I had to brainstorm for ideas, look up like 20 different Photoshop tutorials and get my hands dirty trying out different pictures, styles and scenarios.
