#10 Self-Portrait

You all have done great this session!  Just one more assignment to go: Self-Portrait.

Take photographs of yourself using the timer setting on your camera.  Please let me know if you need a tripod.  Think about what you want to tell the viewer about your personality.  You may tell the viewer a story about an important event in your life through pictures or you can focus on describing your personality.  This is your last project of the session, so make it count!  Think before you shoot, bring in props, use the "rules" of composition, color, and lighting effectively.  This is also an opportunity to use Photoshop to increase the contrast of your images or crop.  Please do not alter your images too much for this assignment.
Post your best 5 images on your blog.

The following is work from a famous photographer named Cindy Sherman.  She is an excellent portrait photographer and here are some of her self-portraits:
