Something that I have been working on semi-independently from my work expressly on the book has been self-portraiture. Until recently (the past year or so) I had been relatively uninterested in taking self-portraits. However, since I started to take them with a regularity, I have really begun to understand why they're such a staple of all artforms.
Looking through the ones that I have taken, it allows for an interesting level of introspection and reflection, while giving an avenue to compose whatever image I want to make.
In the past few weeks, as I started to close the work that I was doing for the books, I began to take self-portraits with even more regularity. I'm apprehensive to include them in my book for this class because I don't think they fit with the overall aesthetic, but I've been wondering whether I want to start working towards some sort of collection or book. Or would that be too self-indulgent? Thoughts?
