When taking the portraits of my self, I was pretty sure with what I wanted to come out of the pictures. I had a good idea of what I wanted my ideal picture to be like and what I wanted my real picture to look like. I think when I first started to understand the concept of real and ideal it helped me interpret pictures and gave me a better idea of how I wanted my pictures to turn out. I think that these portraits do not really show the true "me", I think the real me lies in between my real and ideal self.
Noah, did anyone else take a picture of you? Did you take a picture of anyone else?The assignment was for portraits, not self-portraits. The shadowy darkness on your face is pretty telling and auspicious....
