THE ASSIGNMENT
This will be a self portrait summative assignment. Self portraits are some of the most expressive style portraits an artist can make. We are truly the only ones that can 100% know how we feel both inside and out. In this assignment you will be challenged to take two self portraits. One self portrait will show how you are presenting yourself to the world and one will show how you are currently feeling on the inside. It is up to you how you edit and combine the two photos. in the above examples I used my Iphone x to take the photos and edit. Photos were taken in my bathroom with the phone propped up in the medicine cabinet. I used the lens on the screen side. Feel free to use whatever resources you have available. Check out the resources at the bottom for tips and tricks for good self portraits.
