Old self portrait

[stumble]

This must be from some time last year. I take a lot of self portraits. Not out of vanity but because I'm the only "model" I have. I drifted away from it because of a bad experience with a man (lame reason) but I'm planning to get back into it. I like creating something that people think is a least worth a little.

I tend to use digital for selfs but my real love is film photography and old Zenit cameras / Polaroids. I'd love to have the skills and the money to dump digital for good but I think I need a lot more practice first.

Anyway...

Wow, these are just gorgeous.

Thank you so much.

 

[The Protector]

really nice pictures

I love them :O specially the coloured version. Somehow, the black and the vintage yellowish colour gets me. You should really take some more and more and more

Have you been to school for it? It's a cool skill to have.

 

[ambivalence]

These are awesome!
Love it.

Wow thanks so much everyone.

Oh no I've just played around myself at home. I'm pretty sure these were taken on my dads old 3 mega pixel compact! I can't use photoshop to save me life either!

I've had a tiny bit more advice on using my old film cameras but only from a guy I knew for a while.

I've thought about photography classes or a club but its the same old story I'm too shy and the idea scares the hell out of me!

It's beautiful. I love it oh and the dress <3

 

[stumble]

Thank you! Its actually not even a dress. Its a long, full skirt and I just held it up like that! I wish it was a dress though.

 

[Drama]

Well you made it seem like a dress. You are very talented. You fooled me!! (jk)
But srsly true artists can create wonders with simple things. And i can see that you made a very charming self portrait.

 

[stumble]

Oh thanks again!

Very beautiful portrait, stumble. I like the composition of light in particular.
