87 2012 Tini - Photography: Seven Virtues

I decided to depict myself as each of the seven heavenly virtues. I found that there was a chakra assigned to each virtue and so the colours of the chakras decided what I was to wear. I also found some were hard to depict and so I used props and mudras (Buddhist hand gestures). It was difficult to have photos that I was satisfied with and that I felt were artistic enough and so I did use a great deal of Photoshop and tried to make the photos not look like it, hence no make-up and natural lighting.

#3 Diligence: For Diligence I wanted a profile shot but instead got a ¾ and my sister who was taking the shots for me told me to pretend to knit however I worked on knitting too diligently and forgot to focus on the photography for some shots. I only edited my face in that image. I wanted this air of determination for diligence, with strong body angles and violet for the third eye/clairvoyance chakra.

Special thanks to my sister for help with taking the pictures.
