1-2: self portraits. I just suck at them, even though I actually though the first one was kind of okay. The thing is, it’s hard without being able to go by feeling and change angle, framing and when to squeeze the trigger.
I’ve been thinking about why this morning and I think it must be tied to my unease with posing. Not just to pose myself but also when others tries to do something artificial in front of the lens. Some can manage and make it look natural. I can’t. This combined with the search for bringing out the person in the photo (which is why I don’t really have explored the whole “pose for me!”-thing) makes it too… I was almost gonna write “post-modern” but I’m going to go for theoretically artificial.
