Well, everyone needs to make self portraits. Whether your going through art school or classes, or just cause it's fun to take pictures of yourself, most people at one point in time point their cameras inwards to take a gander. This little articles is to take a look at some classic examples to inspire and maybe find a new way to do them.
Enjoy.
Now theres the ever classic "go to the bathroom and just take a shot in the mirrior. A good way to do it, but you sometimes loose key features while doing it.
And sometimes you don't
Ever been driving down the road and just happen to catch yourself in the car mirror, and you're all like "Hot damn I'm looking good right now! Hmm now theres something worthy of 1/500th of the space on my memory card... well... I have, and so have these people.
You ever had your car die about 15 years before hand... ya not fun
Sometimes your too concentrated to smile
Oh and of course the funny manipulations some people add to their self portraits can be ammusing..
Multicolored?
Up and above yourself
With a little bit of moon face
With a proclamation!
Emotional while still productive
With one sort of prop or another
Theres also many diffrent ways of doing it, these are just some examples.
With more than one of yourself???
With different light and props
As a colorful symbol
Varying angles
Different shutter times
And some interesting photoshop seasions
and being just a little outside the box
Well thats it this time folks, I hope you enjoyed my seemingly witty banter. Thank you and Mata ne!
Jeff
