Self Reflection
Julia Margerat Cameron (Cameron) was a skilled portrait photographer. Cameron knew how to make use of ambient light which in her portraits which resulted in wonderful contrast in her photographs. Cameron's portraits have various degrees of chiaroscuro which I love. Portraits are tight shot and Cameron knew how work with her sitter within a tight frame in order to produce the best composition for the viewer. Most of her portraits appear to have a vertical composition. Cameron used what she had available which I have been forced to do at times when taking portraits.
Cameron inspired my self-portrait. I used ambient lighting, similar to Cameron's technic, in my environmental portrait with transitional shades of chiaroscuro/contrast in my self-portrait. Like Cameron, I used what I had available. I took this shot in a room at a certain time of day to ensure I would have the most dramatic lighting. I did a vertical composition in my portrait in a Stereograph style. This portrait was chosen out of several due since I looked pensive and due to the dramatic lighting. Thus, the portraits title Self Reflection. Both the black and white and color version of the portrait were included since most people seemed to prefer the color and I liked the black and white version. Cameron's portraits are done beautifully and I attempted to produce a similar self-portrait.
A self portrait of myself using natural light on a dark cloudy day, I felt the natural light really sets up the mood in this capture.

I shot this with my reflection in fun whilst testing my new (to me) lens - the Voigtländer 50mm f1.2 Nokton Aspherical. I’m really enjoying this lens a great deal, not only in terms of image quality but also from a user experience perspective. I love the tactile feel of this lens, the mechanically coupled focus and aperture rings, the build quality and the benefits of electronic contacts. Getting to know this lens is proving very enjoyable.

There is a moment in life when you realise that you are completely on your own.
All the riches, securities and other intertwined constructions are of no use.
You are on your own, your standing naked in an open field and in a position of self reflection.
Panic!
What do I do? Where do I run? Can I hide? Or do I face my self?
Nowhere to hide?!
Here's a little confession: on a minute-by-minute basis, I have no idea what I actually look like. In my mind, most of my mannerisms and facial expressions are with one of my brothers' features. Watching video recordings of myself is a jarring experience, because I'm expecting someone completely different from what I see.
As a result, I've recently taken to making faces at myself in the mirror to get used to who I am. It's weird. Am I the only one this happens to?
