Profile photo for CV

As a graphic design student, I was tasked with creating a profile picture for my portfolio.

At first I was very excited and I thought it would go very quickly. But as I progressed, I found it harder and it took longer than I expected.

I thought about what kind of post the profile picture itself should have. At first glance, it should be surprised or interested in something in any way. After that, I thought about processing a photo that should show my skills and abilities in graphic design. I also wanted the profile photo to reveal something about me and to describe me. Even then, I decided that it would be a photoshop customization. But I needed studio photos to do it.

Moodboard

Luckily, my sister had a friend who took pictures for a living and had her own studio. So we could create professional photos.

The photo shoot itself took quite a long time, because we tried to find a suitable pose that would support the overall idea. But it was fun, and we certainly weren’t bored.

During the photographing of the whole photo, I cursed a little bit but I took it as a challenge and I kept trying not to be too grounded and rather create something crazy. It was interesting to try posing as a model, but I couldn’t stand all day long.

During the photographing

Already during the photo shoot we chose a few favourites and then we decided between a few photos. In the end, my sister and I also had sibling photos. After choosing a photo, the real fun in editing a photo in photoshop started, sometimes it was really terrible and I wanted to throw it away. It didn’t happen without the help of my friend, but in the end I struggled with it

Sibling photo

The result is a slightly expressive photo, which, however, hides a smaller story about my personality. The fact that I’m not wearing a T-shirt means that I’m not hiding anything, I’m just like everyone else (I’m a human) and I’m not afraid to go to the market with my skin. And it also stops everyone and notices the photos. There is also some development of ideas that go through my head and I am able to turn them into an explosive idea (not always in a good way). The word invente only underlines the overall story. Overall, I would describe the photo by one sentence, I’m a shooter who burns one idea after another.

Final Photo

In the end, some people may think it’s over the line, but you should not be on the ground and surprise the world when you want someone to noticed you have to create a discussion through your work, only then will someone start to care about you.
