This was done today with a pinhole body cap on a digital slr. The exposure was 4 seconds, that’s why my 5 year old is almost ghost-like.

More playing in the studio. I like this one better than the feet shot I got last week.

Ok so I’ve been producing Self Portraits for, well as long as I can remember. I’m also notorious for “making” my student produce them. Yes “MAKING THEM” and they act like it’s killing them!
I’ve been talking with a friend about why artist create Self Portraits and what they mean to us.
So why do we do this? These are some of the reasons we came up with.
- To show others “How I see myself”
- To show others “How I wish to be seen”
- To show others “How I think others see me”
- To document “How I’m changing”
- As a record of both the good and the bad things that happen to me
- As a record for myself and my loved ones
- As a way of dealing with our own mortality
- Because the model is always there
- We’re “self absorbed egomaniacs”
- We’re shy and afraid to ask people to model
Alright, we all know which reasons are mine! So enough babble, here are some more images.

So, I’ve joined a flickr group called Self Centered Sunday.
I did this to force myself to be more consistent and to perhaps motivate some of you to join the fun. We shall see!
