Photoshop editing

I took three photos of Becky because I wanted to experiment with the idea of people having layers. I feel that portraits often hide the truth, because everyone can put a smile over the top of true emotion when they want to hide it from the world.

So there must be more than what meets the eye.

I wanted to use photoshop to lower the opacity of each layer and alter colours to see if I could find a way to portray the inner emotions in a person.

The top layer on this image is still to forceful, it doesn't work because you can't see enough of the underneath layer.

This image is much more what I was trying to achieve. The underneath layer is almost as visible as the top layer. The top image colours are muted down slightly to show coldness and lies, and the underneath layer has warmer colours to show truth and pure emotion.
