This image was certainly the most 'daring' that I did and I really messed around with Photoshop on this one. The walls in this picture had a nice "frame-in-frame" effect which I was pleased with but decided that was a little too boring and conflicted with the loose pose that my body was in. So I decided to liquify the walls which gave it a cool, wavy looser effect. Now I'm not entirely sure if adding all the effects to my body (Black & White: all colors up to 300% except blue) added to the picture, but this was an exercise in Photoshop and it does give it a sort of comic book-y nature to the picture which is certainly different and less conservative than my other pictures.
Unfortunately, this picture came out slightly blurry when I took it, but I didn't want to waste this shot. So, I used the "posterize" effect to blur the edges even more and give it a kind of unclear, 'mysterious' aura to it. To add to this aura I put a Photo Filter over it again, specifically the "Deep Blue" filter. (It came down to either using "Deep Blue" or "Deep Emerald" but the emerald gave me a slight sickly look which was not really what I was trying to achieve with this image.
This was a relatively simple picture. All I did was take a picture of myself in front of a mirror with the lights off. The flash from the camera provides all the light needed and it even covers up the camera making it look like I am holding some ball of light instead of the camera. I used the least effects in photoshop, all I did was put it in black and white (and then messed around a little with the color levels, nothing to drastic though) to highlight the contrast and get a crisper picture overall.
