This week's
assignment was to do a self-portrait. Self-portraits are an aspect of photography that I have never taken seriously, and yet, when I went back into the archives to look for samples, I had plenty. Below, I'll post two self-portraits, one serious, one obnoxious, and I like to juxtapose them because it shows two opposing sides of my personality.
I think that the key to a good self-portrait is finding a way to define yourself in one shot, one frame of your likeness that sums up the whole person. I'm hoping to take some photos through Saturday in an attempt to find that person, but I know it's a long trip uphill to do so.
In the meantime, here is "pre-black tie dinner Brian," and The Inspector:
I love that you leave me guessing as to who the real Brian is. The portraits are both so different.
ReplyDeleteI have to say, the second one made me laugh.
That is definitely the real Brian I know...maybe Miriam doesn't know your humorous side...give her Stephen's phone number!
