So let me start off by saying this is something I would never do without some pushing, nudging and a little bit of ‘off-the-cuff’ness (let’s pretend that is a word).
In the past week two photographer groups I am part of have challenged its members to take self portraits. Now, one thing you must understand is as a photographer, most of us actually despise having our portraits taken. To add to that sentiment, I have realized I am a bit of a hypocrite. I am always amazed at when people come to me and ask to look a bit thinner, a smaller nose, etc. etc. – I think they are nuts! Everyone is gorgeous in their own right (not to be pushing the Dove campaign or anything!). But when it comes to my own pictures I will untag myself on facebook images, I delete images that include any part of myself, or in the least photoshop it to be at least a little bit flattering. Well… I decided to bite the bullet and just go for it.
So.. here is the worst/best 15 minute scenario of my life thus far.
