ASSIGNMENT 7

Creative Self-Portraits

ASSIGNMENT

You are your most available subject! Let your creativity soar and make a self-portrait.

TECHNIQUE

This assignment is really open. You may decide to stage a scene and set your camera on a tripod with a timer, use the double exposure setting on your camera, or find some reflective surfaces. I invite you to search the internet for some really creative self-portrait series for inspiration. You’ll be amazed and inspired by some of the work that has been produced in recent years.

Just Me / St. Paul, Minnesota, 2016

I’ve had an ongoing Mirrored Me project for several years. It doesn’t require any setup or planning. I approach it as I would street photography. I catch a glimpse of an interesting reflection or framing, and then I click the shutter.
