Self Portraits

 Working with my Film Camera with both black and white film, i have been experimenting different ways in which you can present a portrait. I'm not sure how they have really worked, i do like them though. They kinda have a ghostly haunt to them instead of being pretty and perfect......I do have a Lady Gaga-isge photo i am awaiting on development which might be uploaded it depends.

Being used as part of my final AS Level art exam project where i am rejecting the stereotype that Art is just painting or drawing. Every drawing or painting comes from a photo whether its mentally or physically. The final piece will have dripping paint writing 'I'd Rather Be A Painting' or 'I Wish I Was A Drawing'. If anyone has any preference please let me know it will be highly appreciated.

Inspired by a self portrait by Annie Luebewitz ( my favourite photographer) which i discovered while doing a project about her as part of my Art research. The chance to work with her would be amazing but I'm aiming very high indeed.

First try at Self Portrait....I'm limited to my little film camera and no tripod so struggle with a steady hand on most of these attempts. The flash kinda blanks out any imperfections so no photoshoping was needed though i do wish I'd pluck my eyebrows before hand.
