Day 1 - Bodypart 30 days Self-Portrait - image 1 - student project

I chose my hand because I find it more aesthetic. I first did a picture of my legs but didn't like it. I think, my hand represent beauty and creations. We create everything from our hands

I love this result and loved to play editing it as well with vintage grainy filter Thank you Lucy for this challenge!

CHECK-IN

I feel like it's getting more difficult, I feel more stressed as my perfectionism part is showing up. She wants all pictures to look perfect and great so I can feel safe and good. But this creates a really heavy weight on my heart. Do you have any tips regarding that? Thank you

Day 15 - Undercover

It was heavy to be under the bedsheet but I liked it best as it felt safe.

This was under a transparent shirt, it was soft and light. Different sensations.

I chose the dog of my mum, I love him and it was messy and fun to shoot with him, as he loves to lick my face to not be shot

Day 21 - Half

I also took more time to do this one and finally decided to do a montage of photos that I took but not shown yet. I wanted to portrait the two parts of me : the one who loves to be outdoor, outgoing and sociable, extravert AND the one who is more introvert, loving to be alone and introspect.

Day 25 - Mirror 4

I noticed that it was so easy for me to look at details and much harder to look abroad, the whole thing. Do you have advice? I tried my best but don't feel comfy with that yet.

Day 26 - Timer

That was fun, and realized that most of the time, i didnt want to be seen and didn't want to smile or do anything "pretty"
