Self Portriat


While doing this project (Self Portriat) i descovered that what really resembles me is when i take people and make them my doll and photograph them. I like being able to see the entire time what im taking a picture of and being able to control how the picture will look. I know that you are suppose to do something that resembles yourself but in a strange weird way taking pictures of others and making them do what i want and wear what i want is what resembles me, i like to take control. I did take some pictures of myself but it wasn't easy making sure everything was in focus, which i wanted. I also took some pictures of objects that resemble me - bathing suit in water (i am a swimmer), M&M's (the only chocolate i love), and cheerios (i really like cherrios ha.)


I think I also thought to much about this. When i took the pictures of the objects and myself i felt like it was no where near how good my work can get. I was trying to grasp in the picture of me in the dress and wearing my chucks, that i am a girlie girlie but i also like to be boyish. I am not a big fan of those photos.


Thats about all i have to say. Any question ask me! :-)

Yeah, I do think that you took this assignment very seriously and perhaps you did think about it too much but, you know what? You needed to go through that process to then be able to then step back and make images that really represent you. I have to say, though as much as I like the images you shot of your model, I LOVE those images you had of yourself, lady!
