| Digital Camera + Self + Photoshop = Self Portraits |
| I used Adobe Photoshop to increase the light and contrast in these pictures digital self portraits, making the colors brighter. I'm particularly fond of these three since they represent the gender diversity that is Claire (slash Max Voltage slash Britney Spice). The first picture (on your left) is from Halloween 2002, when I femmed up and went as Britney Spice (with thong underwear and everything) No one recognized me, and when they finally did, they were dumbfounded. Goes to show Genderfucking and Drag don't necessarily have to cross gender lines. |
| This is my favorite Max Voltage portrait. The bright colors are excellent, and the distinctive Max esque sideburns show off well. I love the contrast visually between the biker jacket, spike dog colar, nose spike and lighting shirt with the flower. Max is showing that even though he's a tough king, he still stops to be clique and smell the flowers. He's showing his "femmine" side. |
| This picture is essential Claire. No glasses, no clothes, it's very focused. I love the visual image of the blue mohawk,against the colorful tapestry. My electric violin is such a great object to include in photographs because the form is so unique, and it also represents a lot about myself and is a huge symbol in my identity. Also, gotta have armpit hair! |
