A Day in the life
This week our prompt was self portraits. I decided to take two different angles here: one where I used running shoes as my main prop, and one where I combined self-timed images of myself with blurred images of nature. Both have pretty significant meaning to me: I tried to convey the pain of running in my first shoot, while the blurred one was more an abstract representation of things not always being as they appear to be. My methods for taking the pictures of myself were similar for both ideas: I used a tripod with a self-timer. Finding the perfect focus became somewhat of an issue, but after a lot of trial and error I figured it out. I experimented a little with the lighting of the photos too - since I was outside, I didn't have as much control as I would have liked and had to play around with different aperture settings. In the end, I chose an image from each shoot to show on my blog because I think they highlight different aspects of who I am and what I wish to show through my photography.
