I haven't ever posted photographs of myself on SSS before, because generally I'm behind the camera and not in front of it. Today I finally took the time to set up a mini self-portrait shoot.
Much easier said than done.
See, I have zero equipment aside from my SLR. No screens, no lighting, no tripods.
This means that I have to first choose a spot to take the pictures, then find a way to set up the camera so that it captures my whole self and not just my arm/stomach/neck, guess-timate where to place the focus, set up the self timer, take at least three test shots, and re-set lighting and focus settings before I can actually get on with the real photography.
While it makes things difficult, it's also something I pride myself in. It gives photography an extra dose of creativity. It also enhances the quality, believe it or not; no lighting system, no matter how great, beats natural lighting!
All that to say, I pulled on a sundress, went through aforementioned process, took 70 pictures and present to you... one!!!
