Self Portraits
Tuesday, August 21st, 2007

I took these pictures a few months ago. Are they superb examples of fine art photography? Certainly not, but I don't have much experience doing this so cut me some friggin' slack already. Besides, that was not really the point anyway. Not that I did not care about capturing some good imagery, I did, but it was more about the learning process. Figuring out how to improvise, how to light the scene without real lighting equipment. It was also a matter of boosting confidence and just getting comfortable with myself. Until now, only a very small number of people have seen any of these. So deciding to put them on my website is the next step with that.

Setup was simple: Canon 20D on a tripod, overhead room light (75W x 2), a floor lamp (120W), a black sheet tacked to the wall. That is it. It was challenging but I think a couple of them turned out okay, that is what you are seeing here.

Please note that these pictures contain nudity, if you have problems with that, well that is your deal and don't come crying to me about it.

I am a designer and web developer, a student of many things. Music, art, writing, you name it I will probably try it and probably do it pretty well. I graduated, with honors, in June 2007 from the Art Institutes International Minnesota with my Bachelor's degree in Interactive Media Design. I am now just going to move on into my career and continue to learn new things and hopefully pass what I have learned on to others.
