Photo 209 - Careers
Taking a self portrait can teach you a lot about yourself.
Based on what you've discussed about yourself in the Defining Your Goals Assignment, considering interests,
abilities, personality traits, etc. Create a Self Portrait.
Include a short paragraph explaining the objectives and "essence" of your self-image.
Mount on no larger than an 11x14 mount board.
Finally! I have learned how to capture "relatively" sharp self portraits. Change the lens to manual focus. Focus on someone or something, and before they move - mark the spot so I can stand in that exact spot, put the camera on timer, run over to the marked spot and wait for the camera to fire. These look pretty good - the left eye behind the mask looks pretty goofy - but other than that, I'm good to go. I selected the bottom left image to submit for this assignment.
Self Portrait Statement
Many family photographers are young mothers who work at their photography part time as a way to make it possible to be home at 3:00 for their own children. Their immersion in the world of childhood and knowledge of current trends in children’s interests and play give these young mother’s an advantage in the field. My portrait makes it very clear that I am not a young mother, but I think my smile suggests that I am enthusiastic about my work and that I am approachable. The black background suggests that I may capture traditional poses, but the slightly off center headshot suggests a bit of adventure in my personality.
