Self Portrait a Day

Added 2020-05-08 16:44:25 +0000 UTC

I've decided to take one self portrait a day. (I do differentiate self portraits from selfies (which I'll probably keep taking a lot of, too, as usual).) To me, self portraits are about adding creative elements, lighting, concepts, trying to take something new or make something new, make one think or basically in some way make the photo a little more artistic or push myself a little. A selfie captures a memory or moment in time, or even an emotion.

This photo from yesterday is is blurring the line, a combo of self portrait and selfie. Some I'll share on Instagram. Some/most I'll only be able to share on my Patreon, because I use most of my body in my photography work.

I think trying to capture one good photo of the concept versus taking whole sets of photos will put less pressure on myself. (Don't worry, sets happen, too.) I'll be able to create more concepts in shorter time!
