The main objective of the this project is to show the reality of living in the city Los Angeles.

Hollywood living is a saying in back then in the great state of California, I wanted to a life style that it in the city of LA. With that I wanted to bring I different feel to the photo almost like its a picture in a book, I gave picture almost an oil painting type of feel to the picture, that shows a lot of contrast and build to the photo its self.

Going throughout the project, there were many challenges I was facing when in the process of completing it. One big thing for me was the process of actually removing the background from behind the mannequin. I feel that great practice will improve my skills to achieve this at a quicker speed. Although there were some challenges, I felt there were some great takeaways from the project too. When picking the picture, I wanted something exciting as well as inspiring. The picture that I chose was a fascinating pic of northern Los Angeles. The picture, from my perspective, showed almost a feeling of happiness and joy. With that, I wanted to place the mannequins in syncretized places to create a mood of joy and happiness in a sense. To evaluate my performance on the project, I feel as if it when well; overall, I feel there are many areas that I could improve on to get better at and to better my skills in being a photoshop artist and an artist in general, I feel as previously explained with practice and repetition on other projects and skills and reading over other artist and observing and asking the question I feels as that where I am going to be able to improve upon in my skill set.

Overall to add to my final portfolio, I feel it would be a great asset. However, there is always room for improvement, whether adding a feel or texture to the picture to make it look vintage or even through a few more mannequins to make it feel a little more space out on the picture. However, overall I feel it is an excellent start to better myself.
