As a self-portrait series it is about how physical and emotional attempts at preservation are ultimately pointless. Change is inevitable, and you are changed by the things you experience and the memories you make.<\/p>\n<p>I am quite an introverted person \u2013 I can get quite flustered and end up rushing when directing others or when there is a large crew. Sometimes it\u2019s just easier to work alone and use myself as the model \u2013 although the older I get, the more post- production I need! I don\u2019t have to think about directing the model, hurting her feelings, or keeping her too long in the bath. I just have to set up the gear and take shots in lots of poses until I\u2019ve got all the material I need.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_98418&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-98418 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/In-a-pickle-orignal-images.jpg\" alt=\"In a pickle orignal images\" width=\"1000\" height=\"632\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/12\/In-a-pickle-orignal-images.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/12\/In-a-pickle-orignal-images.jpg?resize=300,190 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/12\/In-a-pickle-orignal-images.jpg?resize=630,398 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/12\/In-a-pickle-orignal-images.jpg?resize=900,569 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/12\/In-a-pickle-orignal-images.jpg?resize=562,355 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Original image of me in the bath and of the jar with mustard seeds<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>In this case, there were two key scenes: the jar in the cupboard and the shot of me in the bath. The jar in the cupboard contained mustard seeds in water and the bath shot contained chickpeas (to mimic the mustard seeds) as well as capsicum (red pepper), chilli pieces and celery leaves for herbs.

I shot a panorama of images on a tripod so I could extend the background on the left and right.

I did lots of skin retouching using Portraiture. I removed the water line\/ reflections with the Healing brush and cloning. I also puffed out the cheeks (Liquify) and darkened the skin using colour layers set to Multiply, and increased contrast using Dodge &amp; Burn layers and Curves.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2>3 Add more flotsam<\/h2>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_98410&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-98410 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/03-add-more-flotsam.jpg\" alt=\"03 add more flotsam\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1001\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/12\/03-add-more-flotsam.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/12\/03-add-more-flotsam.jpg?resize=300,300 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/12\/03-add-more-flotsam.jpg?resize=400,400 400w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/12\/03-add-more-flotsam.jpg?resize=170,170 170w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/12\/03-add-more-flotsam.jpg?resize=900,901 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/12\/03-add-more-flotsam.jpg?resize=562,563 562w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/12\/03-add-more-flotsam.jpg?resize=150,150 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">I straightened the image and removed much of the blue cast from the bath where it reflected onto the skin.
