Reply To: Some Self Portraits I took.

[stef]

I went through a miscarriage a few months ago and my therapist thought it would be a good idea if I used photography to illistrate how I was feeling.

I figured that one out before you posted it, so in that case, I believe your shots conveyed your anguish well. That’s good. They were emotionally involving and only bordering on over the top. Glad you didn’t do something obnoxious like selective color.

As far as the shots themselves, this section (am I a fauxtog?) isn’t really appropriate. I can’t judge your technique or skill from self-portraits, because that style shoots so differently from most other photography. I chuckled at the remote in your hand, though.

Some of the shots are good, some are meh. I like the first two a lot where the desolation and anguish come through; not so much the last few which looks like a high-schooler taking pics of a friend.
