10 Most Bizarre Self Portraits

Wednesday, June 1, 2011

What is a self portrait? Well, self-portraits are referred to as photographs made in the right setting and thus revealing yourself in the process. When conducting a photo-shoot for yourself, there are several things you need to consider. This would include the difficulty to focus on your own eyes, the need to look for someone who can stand in on your behalf for focus issues (otherwise you need to set-up a prop 1st in order to set the focus), the need to utilize a mirror while shooting a reflection of the scene and the delicateness of focusing on the exact spot for your eyes as well as shooting with a shutter wide open because the lighting is low (so that the field depth becomes shallow), being expressive and in giving more information about yourself. You can also add using a tripod that has a self-timer or a long cable release that you can control as well as longer exposures and the inappropriateness of seeing more of the environment. Let take a look at 10 most bizarre self portraits ever made. Obviously these portraits are mixed and manipulated that’s why these are freaking me too much.
