RE: Mon(day)omad self portraits

in Black And White2 years ago

Pretty!! 😍 You and the light compliment each other very well. I like how that gown goes with the drapes.

I've been thinking of doing some self-portraits. Trying to figure out how to rock the "distinguished" look as a woman getting older, getting more greys, getting more wrinkles, getting more waddles... By the way, you have a very enviable jaw line. Mine is like a deflated linen sack wrapped around an old mandible.

I seem to prefer draped dresses..

Shut up....

Never tried before? Do you have trigger?
Do not over think it, it's not science, no one has to see them.:D

I have a little bit but I want to do a project where I embrace my face and all the lifelines that are slowly being etched into it. Don't have a good light setup, though. Do have Nikon Snapbridge. It's fun except for when it's a pain in the ass.

That last time you were flowy, wow! Good thing you had stomach cramps. Those are amazing photos.

You are the brave one, me like it a lot!

When I was at the beginning of self portraits project first I captured the parts I'm 'confident' about. 😂
After that came the rest, I like low key or faceless phs not that I don't like my face - on contrary, but poker face, same expression mostly.

Hands, neck and shoulders are mine most inspiring parts to play with....
Choose the emotion and bring it out, explore the scenes and if you have huge window - use it, dimmed lamps, candles....

Snap bridge is a great way to go, except for being mind f*** as you have to seriously hide it..

Oh yeeeeaaaaaah you just reminded me of this. I used snap bridge and it was a pain in the ass but the journal helped hide the phone.

You have a lovely face, poker or otherwise, but I think it's neat that you play around with contours instead of making every photo a selfie.

I do have a huge window, but I also have neighbors across the way that can see inside. And an endless stream of nosy, demanding crows. Probably take the candle route. Can't see the snapphone in the shadows!

THAT was an awesome post! You had orange hair and Pilot was so young!
[pardon Pilot, but true], those lumps are they gone?

You can also use a lamp with a strong light, just throw a white canvas over it to soften the shadows.

Exactly 😎

Lumps are still there but passed the fibroid test with flying colors, so not cancerous. Even got smaller a year later. Yay!

Pilot says wtf he's still young. Now he's not talking to me.

Doc said to me, I got them cause of the fatty mammary glands. Some left, some are still there.

Give him another sledding lap, he will forget about it. :p
