Challenge #5
Be inspired to be brave.

“Photography can often be a very solitary pursuit and an excuse for the shy to hide. Do something you wouldn't usually do, photograph someone or something in a different way and subvert the pictures meaning, approach a subject that you've been putting off because you've been afraid”.
I hate having my photograph taken, not because I don't like the process but because I dread the image I will be confronted with. So whilst I thought about making portraits of people I don't know well, I decided in the end to photograph the thing that I absolutely dread the most and that is me. I suffer from Acne Rosacea (as well as Blepharitis) and I normally wear make-up to cover this but for this self portrait I decided that I would photograph myself without it.
