Ok, @vmoldo you got me. Challenge accepted. Let's begin.
Well, I didn't plan to do a selfportrait contest entry by @Photogames because... I am too freakin lazy haha :D actually I didn't know how to do it so I could be satisfied with the final effect. Well, I wanted but I didn't have a good idea for it, thinking that there will be hundreds of people better than me. That how it goes when you overthink - thanks @vmoldo :D
Yeah and for sure there is a lot of them, but fck it! Imma do it! Why? Because I had this little conversation with @vmoldo yesterday and I woke up this morning and I was like "hey, you didn't say the most freaking important thing!" :D
He said a lot of cool advices about self portraits (and actually you can use those advices in more situations). For those who didn't see - make sure to read there.
So what is the MOST IMPORTANT THING? - just look into the mirror and it will stand in front of you. Yes babe it's YOU!
"Oh Matt it's so obvious, you cannot do a self-portrait without being on it" - Actually I ment something else. I know that when I look on your self-portrait I see you, but I don't want to see dry piece of bones and muscles, I want to see REAL YOU. I don't mean you need YOU as a person, you as yourself - mentality, character, vibe... something that will show the personality... It's tuff to explain, but what I mean is that is when I look on your photo I want to get to know you. It should say something about you or about the story you want to tell.
So with that being said I thought that I will just grab my camera and shoot. But what describes me? Of course the camera! So I grabbed the second one which is my lovely Zenit 12XP (if you follow my post you saw my pictures shot by Zenit). I put some light on my face, of course white light, because I love it. Pure white light... pure like a ... milk <sorry I don't know what else is white> :D
and boom here we are! Camera picturing me picturing the camera... inception? :o
Well I thought that would be pretty boring doing just one simple shot that shows kinda inception-style. I am not boring, I don't like to be boring and I don't want to be boring. Noone wants right? RIGHT?
So as I shot this I actually couldn't decide which lens to put on my Zenit, I had three of them and if I use one the other two will cry so I came with another idea!
People wear glasses right? <actually I don't but just imagine> So glasses are made of glass right? So lens are filled with what? METAL... damn. Actually there is some glass inside too!
and BOOM here we are again! :D
pure milk... I mean pure me! :D
and remember, drink milk! :D
