Day One: Self-Portrait
Here
is where my thirty day photo challenge begins. Being honest, I was actually
incredibly excited to start with a self-portrait, for a few reasons. The main
reason being, last year I was really involved in my creative photography. If I
had an idea, I went out and tested it. More often than not though, I was my own
model. For this reason, I basically just ended up with a lot of profile photos.
However, around June I started modeling with a local company (Gloss), and since
then I haven't had the motivation to express myself creatively. Mainly because
I knew whoever was taking my photo could probably do a much better job than I
could.
There
are many things I hate about this photo. Many. However, it happens to be the
photo I like the most (that isn't already set aside for a separate day of this
challenge). Going through the creative process to take this photo really
confirmed that this is going to be a good creative year for me. Everything was
exciting to me, from start to finish. Which hasn't been the case lately, and I
think a good part of the reason is because I was pushing my self expression
aside to give what others wanted. However, I've decided 2015 is the year I get
my mojo back. That means lots of creative shoots (probably with myself).
Anyways,
I'll be back tomorrow with "what I wore today" (it's basically an
outfit of the day/OOTD).
Stay tuned.
