Self Portrait

Self Portrait

"The camera is much more than a recording apparatus. It is a medium via which messages reach us from another world". - Orson Welles

I love when an idea is quick and easy. I shot this in about 10 minutes and the edit took about an hour. It hasn't even been 24 hours since I started. So many of my portraits are well thought out and take lots of time and thoughtful preparation and post editing, so its nice when I have an idea that can be done start to finish in one day.

I've had this idea for about 3 weeks and was born out of an idea to take the meaning of "self portrait" to another level. I have taken self portraits for about 5-6 years now and at times my camera on its tripod is just as much "me" as me and is just as important in the process. So when I started to think of ways to showcase "self portrait", the idea to merge these two ideas was born and create the ultimate self portrait of myself :)
