I explored light in my kitchen, where I spend most of my time. I need a good picture for my website, which I just started. When I came across this class, I thought this would be just what I needed to start thinking of myself as the subject of my camera. I felt most comfortable doing a faceless, because I couldn't judge my face as much. Instead, I could focus on composition, lighting...
I love how this picture is symmetrical and silly. I needed to be silly to not take this self-portrait thing for my website so seriously.
Then I thought, hey, since no one's here and it's just me and my camera, let's be cute :)
And of course, the diamond over your eyes self-portrait....
Thanks to Lindsay for the inspiration! It gave me the comfort to create self-portraits and I did get a full-face one that I eventually liked.
