Self Portrait C&C

[Ballistics]

If you had held a reflector just out of frame from below and slightly camera left, it would have given a more even light on your face and drawn out details in the shadow under the hood (your left ear). A reflector would also add some catchlights in the eyes. As is, the lighting looks as if you had a spotlight aimed at your nose, missing the eyes. Typically, the eyes are the most important aspect of a portrait because they reveal the emotion behind the mask.

Self portraits are tough. Keep at it. Thanks for sharing.

What if I burned my face to match the light? You think that would help? My nose was peaking out of the hood.

I like it. I like the rustic grainy look you created and the way the hoody shadows your eyes. Very mysterious look.

I like it! I don't know if its me or the screen, but its slightly blurred.

I was kind of going for a blurry dirty look. I don't know how to articulate it properly. Looks like I wasn't successful though loll.

Well not too late to do a redo! and I don't know if you are using a tripod or not, but I would suggest using a tripod and keeping the camera on a timer incase to donot have a cable release. Helps alot!!

It was on a tripod and I have a remote. This was my first attempt at an "artistic" self portrait but it sucks lol. I kind of achieved what I was trying to do, but it's not well received lol.
