Self-Portrait
For this assignment in Principles of Photography, we had to shoot an environmental self-portrait and a conceptual photograph. We had to be present in the environmental shot. The conceptual shot was supposed to depict something representative of ourself. Since I don't actually like to be photographed, and am quite sure that I am on the correct side of the camera, I found the environmental self-portrait to be rather challenging. I chose to only show my profile to demonstrate my shyness at being photographed. The bubble represents my fun side, but since it is a perfect bubble it also shows that I am a perfectionist. The bright colors inside the bubble demonstrate my vibrant personality. I backed up a playful scene with strong pillars to show that I have strength. For the conceptual shot I photographed a gutter flower. I can't think of anything stronger, or more defiant than a flower growing through concrete. I know that I have the ability to face adversity and always survive. I also believe that everyone has at least two sides to their personality and that is represented by the two stems this flower has.

And if anybody reading this is doubting that she's actually a perfectionist I am here to confirm that she is. . . (a perfectionist and the best bay partner you could hope to have in the studio)
