Self Portraits

The final assignment for my photo class was to take self portrait pictures. One had to tell a story about yourself and the other was to be more 'traditional'. I played around with many different images in my head, trying to visualize how they would turn out. It's amazing how difficult it is to take a self portrait. Setting up the shot in a unique way is a far greater challenge than I originally expected. Here are a few that are my favorites. I wanted my 'traditional' picture to still tell something about myself; so I did a few yoga poses to create interest. The self reflection picture is my favorite, as it truly captures my "guilty pleasures" in true form.
