What Does Your Self Portrait Say About You?


The above portrait is by Andy Warhol, this photograph can be perceived in many ways depending on the viewer. He could be seem as “crazy” or “ genius” in this photo, but this photo shows more than that. It shows how Warhol wants to be perceived, how others see him, and most importantly how he understands himself. You don’t have to be a famous artist to find all of these answers ANYONE can find these ideas through taking self portraits. It is important to do so, to keep a record of yourself. Many photographers document the world around them but fail to document themselves. Therefore it is necessary  to take portraits of yourself and others.

9/3-9/13 Photo Sketches In my Hood This is at a Kroger near my house. I like the way the tree looked next to the building. H is for... HONK! Because this is at a traffic light near my friend’s house. I really like the way the tree is almost moving and the lines are really strong in the photo. Upside Down This is at a very old grave yard outside a library. I got a lot of weird looks for taking this photo from people driving but it’s fine.I turned the camera upside down while I was taking it cause I wanted to  try out a  different  angle. (FYI The grave yard is from the 1920’s so that cool, that’s what it said but I do not know for sure) I also prayed before so I wouldn’t be haunted, just for safety. Right as I get Home This is the back of my house but I when I go home I sometimes chill outside cause most days its nice.

Shape The shape I picked was a circular type of shape, I say circular because I feel like the photos don't necessarily represent a circle but close to the shape of a circle. In this photo the shape would be the circle of the statues head. I also like the lines with the grass and the building behind the statue. The circle is very clear in the statues cheeks. You can see the circles of light, even though they sorta blend near the bottom. This one is harder to see but the circle is the reflection of the pot. I also like the aloe vera’s leaves in the reflection. The circle in. This pick is the round part of a beach chair but the most interesting part is the pillow and the color of the chair and pillow. This is my favorite out of the five, I like it because it look really cool and the lines are its more complex. The circle in this photo is the base of the lines make a circle in the shadow which I thought was cool.

 Irina Rozovosky is a photographer that lives very close to us! I found her through instagram and decided to use her for the project. (   https://www.instagram.com/yabliko/?hl=en  this is her instagram ) I love her photography, I like the movement and sort of randomness in them. Also just her point of view of teh world. The photos I made are not exactly like hers but I still like them, and they give me the same feelings her work does.
