Arnulf rainer style (by me)

this photo is my first attempt at self portrait. i chose the style of the artist mentioned in the title because it allows for the expression of extreme emotion. Arnulf Rainer was a austrian photo artist who in his "Face farces" portfolio photographed himself in different emotion states using facial expressions. after his self portrait was printed he drew and painted over them to enhance the emotions impact using dark reds and blacks almost like blood to portray his hatred of his own appearance and to express the pain in his life probably because of his drugs lifestyle.
