I thought I'd upload this self portrait I captured of myself earlier this year until I can get my profile photo to show up! For some unknown reason, my profile photo isn't showing if any of you guys know why it might be, please let me know in the comments below!
My next sentence might offend a few people and I apologise if it does but, however, I'm writing it because I'm hoping that it will inspire you! One thing that I don't like about some photographers is that they'll use a photo of themselves holding a camera in front of their face as if they were capturing an image. It's just so over used and un-creative. All you need to do is turn the camera on yourself, become a model for an hour or 2, or however long it takes to create an original self portrait of yourself. I didn't even have a tripod when I captured this photo so it wasn't easy to capture myself the way I wanted to. Something that I'd like to start doing is capturing photos of models and it is important to me to be able to create an emotional connection between the photograph and the viewer. That's all I was trying to achieve with this self portrait, did I succeed?
