Scared to ask
Added 2021-05-27 08:13:27 +0000 UTCSelf portraits are a terrifying prospect. They have been a part of art history for centuries and some artists are very comfortable with them. I am not one of those artists. Last year I embarked on the journey of working on self portraits to eventually include in a download full of the damn things. That was supposed to mark my 100th download and since I've just shared #124 on here that should be an indication of how successful that was.
Covid hit and even though I had a bit more time to work on them, I didn't have as many options for location as we went in to lockdown and by the time we were allowed out again I had put on a bunch of weight and it was now cold and not conducive to outdoor nudity.
In the few that I did, some friends commented that they were way too serious and not the "real me". That I will definitely agree with. Taking my own photo usually results in a very serious face of concentration. It's a tough technical process so remembering to be "me" is tough.
It's time to start thinking about it again though so I'm putting it out to you guys, some who know a bit more than others about me, what do you expect to see in a self portrait of me? Please be respectful and keep it nice.

That’s what I’d like to see..I concur with the others, don’t worry about kilos, folds, skin or anything else, just show you as you like to do.. be free.
