Something Vivienne McMaster said in a recent lesson in her photography e-course ‘You are your own muse’ really struck me. She said that when you take self-portrait photos you have all the control. Kind of obvious, but I had never thought about it before. It’s a really powerful thought if you don’t normally like pictures taken of yourself. So with that in mind I have been experimenting.
Here are a couple from my recent trip to Greece – I loved the way the shadows from my floppy sun hat fell on my face.
What do you think about taking pictures of yourself? Have you taken any lately?
