Self Portrait - Day 1 (Bodypart)
I picked my eye as the bodypart to focus on because when I am taking photos of other people their eyes are what I focus on completely. I also like that my eyes are blue. They are the windows to the soul, right?
Self Portrait - Day 2 (the object)
For this challenge I chose my cup of coffee that I drink first thing in the morning. It makes me so happy when I drink it and after I've sat still and savored it I feel ready for whatever the day may bring.
Day 3 - Peekaboo
I knew I wanted to do something with a shear white fabric for this challenge. I used the curtains in my dining room. I wrapped them all around me and draped it over parts of the camera. It was interesting to see the results.
Day 4 - Mirror
This challenge was confusing for me. It took me a while to think through the lighting, focus, etc. I didn't know how to make it interesting when I was taking a photo of the back of myself.
Day 5: Book
I chose the book "Beloved" by Toni Morrison for this challenge. I figured whatever word I landed on would be a good one with her literary talent. I opened to the word "HAIR". I wanted to do a flat lay picture where I am floating in a sea of hair. I didn't do quite what I was imagining in my head, but it was interesting to try.
Day 6: David Hockney inspired
It was interesting to learn about a new photographer and their style. I didn't know how to assess for myself whether I liked or disliked it. I didn't have a clear vision of what I was trying to say, but it was fun to explore using Canva and try something new.
