1. Have fun, 2. Use shadows, 3. Play with mirrors
4. Change perspective, 5. Crop tighly, 6. Expand your horizons
7. Use a table, 8. Be clever, 9. Find your reflection

This is so timely! I had to do a layout featuring a photo of myself for a challenge the other day, and didn’t have a photo I loved. I’ll have to try some of these to see i I can get a good one!
My fallback for about me layouts is a photo of my feet or hands. Is so easy and can seem so poetic!
Cheater cheater punkin eater! LOL! That’s not a bad idea, but I’m guessing my grandchildren would rather see pics of my face than my hands or (gasp) feet! I’m determined to get some pics made I like! Many years ago I had a high-priced sitting with a realllllly good pro photog, and the pics are amazing. It’s totally worth the indulgence to pay for a professional sitting!
I’m really intrigued by the idea of self-portrait doing something – like #1. What a better depiction of self than showing stuff I like to do!
Fantastic ideas here! Thank you for your blog, there is always something worthwhile here.
Very honored to be chosen as one of your suggestions. In fact a self portrait is a very good tool for self discovering, and self understanding.
