Well, maybe not fears, but apprehensions, or doubts...
As I mentioned before, I have had a hard time capturing my own image on camera. I've been wanting to tackle the project of the self portrait, especially because I want to offer pictures of some of my necklaces being worn when I make my etsy listings. This is no small feat, and with the taking pictures of myself comes the need for kindness, patience, and self-love...It's a crazy thing to look at so many pictures of your own face. I'm experimenting, trying, practicing, and exploring this topic slowly... I offer up these few samples...
This was a fun batch to edit, the light at sunset was wonderful to play with and I found a new spot in the house for experimenting...
I'm off to the studio for a late night jam session with my hammers...
Take care...

love that first photo.
ReplyDeletethe beauty of digital photography is being able to view/delete directly on the camera before having to sit down to the results screened out for us.
[you are beautiful: believe it.]
WOW! Thanks for the love, (I am starting to believe it, slowly but surely my friend). AMEN for the immediate delete button on the camera :) This has been a lesson in self-love and patience, lots of patience...
DeleteAloha Foxy!
It IS scary!!! I remember when I first started I thought. "I'm hideous, how did I ever possibly think photographing myself would be a good idea?!" But one thing we pretty/ugly girls must remember is that EVERYONE is pretty ugly! ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt's been a challenge for sure, but I suppose it's good gor me! Practice, patience, self-love, and experimentation!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, and for taking the time to share your thoughts with me! Aloha :)
