photos - yay!

Some photos that I took this afternoon. I made a daisy chain whilst sitting in the beautiful spring sun. I hadn't made one for years!

Exploration of self photoshoot

I took a whole series of photos in January this year. I had an idea of working with lace and the body. Here are some of my favourites.

Working lace turned out to be amazing. The effects were awesome!

I really like incorporating texture into my photographs - hiding things but still being able to see it. Suggesting a hint of something, not quite there.

Self-portrait experimentation

Mirrors + lovely sunlight/daylight = interesting self-portraits
I took many self-portraits using a mirror resting on a chair with the light source in various places - these are 2 of my favourites. As is the one I have used for my profile page.
I have over the course of my life taken many, many self-portraits so am quite practiced in the art. It is indeed an art, one I am still experimenting in. The key is to make sure your arm (the good ol' arm stretch) is not in the photo and that your neck is not strained in funny uncomfortable looking ways.
I try to take unusual self-portraits, they don't always turn out. I think it is important to know how to photograph oneself just as much as it is important to know how to compose a photograph in other settings.
