This project is continuing with my last project but I do have changed the colour that I used to do before. This time I feel quite lost, I just confused how to do my next project and from July to now I've been through many things: I have been heart broken because of Love, Friendships and Gossip. I have found out sometime you didn't want to hurt anyone, but there are something may suddenly hurt you. And you didn't have any prevention. 

"People who can hurt you indeed, always are the one who you really care and trust."  I always thinking about this, so I feel really bad and inability. Why people always have to hurt someone they love or even they don't really know? 

This time I just want to put my motional into my works, and I still using flower and subtilise. This time I'm not only showing the pretty of flower, I want to show the flower also can be sad and dark. Some of my works are out of focus, its because sometime you have to use differed way to see things and you may find out something may look good when you didn't see it clear.  When things became out of focus then you can use your imaginations to look the picture and there is not only flower anymore. 

For my final four pictures, I've taken the portrait first and used Photoshop to mix with my flower pictures. I did use many layer to create one image and all the colour are come from the flower, it’s interesting to play with on Photoshop.  I’ve used the intensive colours on behalf of the motional, red, deep blue and green. When I mix all the pictures together there would become more colour and it seem really interesting.

First picture is a woman who backs to the screen, and didn’t have any movement. The mean of this one is I was start-getting interference from many ways and getting lost.  Different colour means different interferences and it start into my body and heart. So the head had little bit disappear in the background, kind of I stuck in a slough.

Second picture is a woman who holding herself and shakes the head with the leaves and flowers. The meaning of this picture is I feel bad and I really want to get rid of those tiresome things or people out of my head. I don’t want these bad motional and gossip to hurt me any more.

The third one is a woman who sit down and look relax and the colour was not strong like the first two pictures. The meaning of this one is showing that I feel tired and I want to hide myself into a quiet place without any noise. After I finish this picture I found out there is something really interesting thing inside the picture. I probably let you find out by yourself!

The last one is a woman who stands and opens her arm, and the color was strong than before.  And it means I’m ready to more on and let everything go, I will be strong again and those people and gossip would not hurt me anymore.  And I will forgive everything that make me sad so the right hand of the model seem more light than left hand because it mean forgiveness.  

After I finish these works I feel good and this time is totally different motional with last time. This time was really quite dark and painful, but I do like my result. I really hope everyone can feel it.

花謝花飛花滿天，紅消香斷有誰憐﹖ 

游絲軟繫飄春榭，落絮輕沾撲繡簾。 

閨中女兒惜春暮，愁緒滿懷無釋處， 

手把花鋤出繡閨，忍踏落花來復去。 

                                                       --葬花詩

Different flower has different meaning, rose means love, lily means pure and Peony means wealth and shy etc.

Same flower but different colour also had many feeling, red feel enthusiasm, pink feel sweet and hope, yellow feel lively and black feel melancholy and mystery. 

I want my work look happy and showing someone is looking for love and hope. I'm holding hope on my hand and wish there is a batter future for me and I also carries a lot of love in me. Finally I flying out of the depression. 

When I saw the works from Miki Takahashi and Ninagawa Mika, I think I know how to do my project and how to make the portrait and flower together. But I most make it from my own style so I want only one kind of flowr on the portrait and look like a tatoo, it's mean Portrait with flowers are tightly dependent. I also want to put a story into my project, I mean My own feeling. I hope the viewer can find out the feeling with quiet,happy,shy and hope.

I used the digital camera to do the double exposure, I took the portrait first then flower paper. So the flower paper were became the background, and here can change the order then there will become different result. Then I used a lof of photoshop to make image look more rich.

Miki Takahashi

Miki Takahashi’s photography project entitled ‘Two sides of personality’ shows a series of portraits with two faces which are back to back, reflecting a personality which has two different sides to it. I think that this photography is thought provoking and could possibly be intended to highlight the condition of schizophrenia.

The wonders of technology never cease to amaze as London-based artist Daniella Zalcman unveils her latest project, the aptly titled “New York + London: A Collection of Double Exposures.” Originally developing the idea during her last month in New York City, Zalcman took over 100 smartphone photographs of the streets in the Big Apple. She then used various smartphone apps such as Instagram to delicately superimpose the pictures over images of London’s alleyways. The result is a beautiful ode to the similarities between two of the world’s greatest cities. Zalcman, whose work has been featured in Vanity Fair, The Wall Street Journal and Sports Illustrated, is currently raising funds via Kickstarter to produce a photo book of her work. The full set can of images can be seen over at Yatzer.

When I first time saw her work that I really stock on it, how beautiful. Her used double exposure to cross the different cities and I think that's really clever idea. 

I can feel there is a bit of sad mood inside of the photo but romantic.
