p.1 #1 · Self portrait


Every so often, I step in front of my own camera.
Not for vanity—but to stay honest.
To test the light, the angles, the energy.
To remember how it feels to be the one being photographed.
Because if I’m asking someone to trust me with their image, I need to understand that side of the lens too.
Self-portraits keep me sharp, curious, and connected to the process.
This is how I work.
Thoughtfully. Intentionally. With a dose of weird.

You are a natural. Usually photographers hate being photographed.

Nice.

Once again, whimsical defeats facial tension.

These are great. Showcasing your talent here getting it right even when not standing behind the camera the whole time.

Nice work.

Fun shots. Looking good!

I love the pink hair. People can be so judgmental.

Ha easy when it’s just you and your camera in the middle of a snowstorm. The hard part is actually posting them

Whimsical. Is a nice word weird, goofy.

I don’t really have pink hair. Just messing around.

Thanks Daniel. Something different for an old guy. But it’s just retouched. I’m way
Too chicken for pink hair.

These are really well done. Expressions alone can win over the viewer, but you have all the technical points done well too.

A small nit: In #1, I find it a bit too dark on viewer's right side between ear and neck. A tiny bit more light in the eye would be welcome too.
