This post is for you who know me in person. I think it is (kinda) necessary (for me).
Trust me, it is hard for me to say that I did take some self portraits. As someone who doesn't share much of herself to others especially publicly, it is actually kinda feel awkward sharing a self portrait. Some of you might say that it is an act of narcissistic, but trust me, it's not.
All my reason is just to push myself in trying and doing things in this thing called photography. I wanna do things that are more planned rather than just snapshots. Chasing light rather than just accept it. It is part of my process of learning. Lights, gestures, tones, framings, and other technical details.
At first I kinda confused of these people doing the 365 project on flickr where they would take a picture of themself everyday for a year. I did at first think that it is such a shallow thing, but I saw many of them grow better as the process went by. And I have to agree with what Lauren said here. It maybe is just a way of trying to express myself.
