So far I haven’t truly brainstormed about what I would like to do for my Self Portrait however thinking now I have a few ideas.. One idea is I think I’d like to take a picture of me dreaming or thinking and I’d place a type of thought cloud above me and place things I like or are apart of my life into them. However thinking now I think my second idea would be more interesting, which is to take a picture of me in some fun stance and I’d either place things into my silhouette that are important to me or I’d put pictures of my life which would create a collage. Butttt…even thinking now I think because I have a very huge fondness of nail polish and possibly I’d try to create the illusion of me painting my face with the polish because I’ve always described myself a colorful person and it would probably be really fun.The following are two self portrait photographers:
- Cristina Otero- Cristina Otero is a Spanish photographer and artist best known for her self portraits. Otero is the youngest artist in Spain who has ever exhibited individually in an art gallery, when she was 15. Otero found her love for photography at a young age. At 13, while watching America’s Next Top Model, she found herself intrigued by the makeup, styling and poses that go into creating a major fashion photo shoot. -wiki
- Vivian Maier- Vivian Dorothy Maier (February 1, 1926 – April 21, 2009) was an American street photographer. Maier worked for about forty years as a nanny, mostly in Chicago’s North Shore, pursuing photography during her spare time. She took more than 150,000 photographs during her lifetime, primarily of the people and architecture of New York City, Chicago, and Los Angeles, although she also traveled and photographed worldwide. -wiki
