Perception of self

You might agree - the desire to photograph comes to us more often than the availability of potential models. So, when this happens, we test it on ourselves. at least I do.


And, of course, the endless curiosity! of how we appear to other people, how others see us. I believe self-portraiture can be quite theraputic, as if we have a chance to look inside ourselves, see how our feelings translate when they come out on the surface.

Also, I am becoming very fond of unsaturated images, on the verge of black and white, but not quite (like the one in the middle). Their subtlety and 'understatedness' really appeals to me - I find it more expressive than bold and bright colours - or, at least, when applied to portraiture... What do you think?

Black and white today

Today is going to be a brief one.. left the house at 8 in the morning and came back at 7 in the evening! "saturated" day :) so - balanced out by monochrome pictures...

To follow my own "rule of thirds" the three images today are more portraits - more of Anastasia and Sarah :)

Wishing you all a great Sunday evening and a good week ahead. Until then!
