Taking inspiration from Ralph Ueltzhoeffer text portraits I decided to create some of my own, but with a slight twist. Ueltzhoeffer's portraits mostly have a dark background and I've used a white one. By doing this it has allowed me to experiment and develop my pieces and come out with my own take on Ueltzhoeffer's creations. Using masks and playing with the opacity of layers has led to my final pieces below.

The process
 |
| I started with an isolated image that I had converted to black and white. |
 |
| I then used the magnetic lasso tool to draw around my model and create a mask. |
 |
| Next, I added my text. I drew a text box the size of my image and filled it with the lyrics from my models favourite song. |
 |
| After moving the mask layer above the text layer to place it at the front I began to adjust the opacity of the mask layer. By reducing the opacity of this layer allowed the lyrics behind it to show through at a lighter rate. |
 |
| Finally, I adjusted the opacity of the text layer just to reduce the boldness of the text. |
