One of my old friends from high school (Heather Rose) is a great photographer...I have admired her pictures for awhile now...and especially her "self portraits". I was thinking that I would give this a shot...literally! So today...during some of my vacation time...I decided to play around with taking some self portraits. Warning...this is not easy! I felt pretty silly taking pictures of myself...but really this is a great exercise in getting to know yourself! (and your camera...if you are new to photography...like I am).
So here are some of my attempts...enjoy, laugh, cry...whatever you feel like!
Have a great day!
So, who is going to try this?
Of these, my two favorites are :
ReplyDeletethe one in full profile, camera in the foreground—it's so matter of fact—here I am taking my picture—it seems like that might be one you took after you got warmed up, had confidence, comfort.
the very first one, your mouth in a pucker off to the left—again, it's like the camera is no longer even important to the scene, no longer the focus (HA). This is an image of a woman at her own mirror, no one around.
Very nice work, Jen. I look forward to seeing more
Heather
oh, I see one of these in my future!
