Photographer inspired self Portrait
Self-portraits have been a method of self-exploration since humans first gazed at their own reflection in a pool of water, with the invention of the mirror came an even stronger fascination with the way artists see themselves.
And then there was the camera!
This Click assignment is a little different and more involved than the last ones.
We will be looking at other photographers as inspirations for our very own self portrait.
You will select from my list of example photographers and decide which one you would like to emulate in your own photography. The end result will be your own self portrait following the style or techniques of your master photographer.
