Step 1
Experimenting with Photo Booth
•Take a series of photos (10 – 15) of yourself on photo booth. Use the different filters to give different effects.
•Framing – make sure your head and shoulders fill the frame to give a balanced composition.

•Save these images onto your desktop by dragging them out of photo booth.

•Friends/Family and the influence they have on you.
•Hobbies, Religion, Sports
•Social media
•Aspects of your personality – are you quiet, chatty, outgoing, studious, lazy, happy, easy going, sociable, isolated etc. Think of all the words that describe you. Ask someone else to describe you if you get stuck.
