A self-portrait is a work of art, like a picture or a sculpture, that an artist has made of themselves. Every artist is different, so every self-portrait is different. A self-portrait can look like the artist who made it, or a self-portrait can look more abstract. A self-portrait can show more than just how the artist looks. It can tell a story about the artist or include their favorite things.

I bought a new camera body in September and I have been looking for a new project. I did a portrait project and I guess this is my new self-portrait project.
Inspired by “Art explainer: what is a self-portrait?” at the National Portrait Gallery, I am playing with light, lights, poses, clothing, props, and more. So follow this space as we progress.
