Before

 

AFTER

Concept: 

I used my brother for this project because of his youthful appearance in relation with wearing a hoodie. In todays society many citizens view hoodies as a sign of rebellion of a stereotype for a thug. I wanted to be able to prove that not all people who wear hoodies are thugs, especially in the Black race. The use of his face conveys much innocence and makes people believe he wouldn't do anything that is thug like. This counters the connection people make with hoodies and thugs. I also used the background of buildings to express how realistic the picture is, and how it is and actual problem in the world.

Transformation:

I started off with just the background and then I used the other picture of my brother. 

I used the selections tool to select the outline of my brother and copy pasted him onto the original background.

After I pasted 3 more picture of just him and I gave them all different opacities and I used scaling to make one bigger than the other.

Only to the background I used exposure changes and curves.
