During the research time for our self portrait assignment, I found myself looking at a lot of methods to alter your images physically and not digitally to make them a bit more interesting. The method I found myself most attracted to and interested in was embroidering on my photographs. Below, there are examples of embroidered photographs as well as the self portraits I plan on embroidering on.

| Maurizio Anzeri |
The two main artists I found inspiration from were Maurizio Anzeri and Jose Romussi. Both use very linear, clean designs which I find very appealing. Additionally, they don't embroider over the whole picture, they leave some parts naked which I like. The images they sew on are very basic, classic portraits without too much else going on the image seeing as the embroidery and the person are suppose to be the main subjects. I kept that in mind when shooting my own.
