Hello everyone, and welcome back for today’s post. In today’s post, I worked with self-portraits to help my viewers get more acquainted with me and help them understand. Which props and surrounding environment to my viewers about myself. In this project, I chose three of twenty-five things about myself to portray throughout my photography.

The three things that inspired me to take these selfies were the words student, basketball, and the fireplace. These things inspired me because I wanted my photographs to help tell a story, give more insight about me to my viewers, and see the things incorporated into my life.
Standard Selfie :
In this photograph, I took a standard selfie from the bathroom mirror in my home with my uniform on and my school’s name and logo to show that I am a Walker Memorial Academy student.
Conceptual Portrait:
In this photograph, I took a conceptual selfie, which is a selfie that does not show my face, but I incorporated the prop of a basketball going into the net on the hoop to show that I enjoy playing basketball. To capture this shot, I set my camera to shutter speed priority, and I used multiple shot mode rather than singular shot mode, so when I threw the ball up, it captured and froze the basketball going into the net.
Self-portrait with text:
In this photograph, I captured myself sitting in my living room next to the fireplace, and I put the word fireplace in my portrait to show text indicating I’m sitting next to a fireplace.
