For this self-portrait assignment, I did not have a professional camera to use, however, I used my smartphone and played with its camera to produce images of myself while seeking out new and different perspectives. In some of my self-portrait photos, I tried to play with exposure, brilliance, shadows, highlights, contrast, sharpness, etc. Also, I tried to choose my color scheme which includes black and white and neutral and minimal colors. These add dramatic effects to the results while creating a simple image (that describes my simple character/self-portrait). Furthermore, I also added a little filter in some of my photos to intensify the effect. Moreover, in some of my images (excluding self-portraits in front of the mirror), I placed my smartphone on tables while setting up a timer. I also tried to zoom in my camera and to crop some images to put some significant focus on specific details. Lastly, I used different mirrors to capture myself and my surroundings, and in some, I partially hid my face behind objects while created a soft-focus effect with some household materials and even Christmas lights.
