Platon Discussion

This is a photo taken by a photographer named Platon. I watched the documentary and found some of his pictures very moving. He had many that were interesting, but I like the work he did with this picture in particular in photoshop. The person in the photo is Samuel. L Jackson. He is a personal hero to me because of the way he expresses himself and the way he speaks about certain political issues. I think that this photo hits home to me the most because of how much I like Samuel L Jackson. 

I think the way that Planton used the glow effect to really make Samuel L Jackson standout is really cool. Also, him covering his mouth with his cloak makes it look like we're seeing him but not the full him and I think thins rings home to famous people in general. I think on the internet we like to assume to much about people we've never met and how in reality we only know the surface of the truth or only what that person is showing us. 

This photo of me is also in black and white just like Planton's photo of Samuel L Jackson. This photo shows me staring at the camera holding an almost empty bottle of Listerine. I am also wearing a black top as contrast for the photo. This is supposed to represent how some people think of life as the bottle either half full or as half empty. Me grabbing the phone is supposed to represent giving the viewer a choice and showing them the bottle.
