Self-portrait with new tattoo, a memorial to my dearest friend. We met in high school and lived photography and darkrooms and adventuring with our cameras. While many things have happened since then, I thought our origin story is what I wanted to celebrate. Cancer sucks.

Thanks to Hélène for the lighting, and the help.
I think the reason I barely practice portraits is because I feel like I'm stealing a piece of someone's soul when I take them.

taken at vivid, complete with photobombers behind me, who were funnily enough being egged on by my friend at the end of the tunnel.
This week's cycle is self portraiture. This means we have to take self portraits of ourselves that describes who we are..
I took many self portraits over the break, but many of them didn't represent who I was. A lot of them turned out really bad or the point of the photos were just sadness... but I'm not all that sad. I am a happy girl and I feel loved by many. So I decided to head to a more positive idea in my picture.
I was out of inspiration, my original idea failed and I needed something that will describe me so I chose this photo. I was looking for inspiration on the internet when I found a self portrait with a her own drawing behind her. It got me into thinking that I should find large board and I should just draw whatever that describes who I am! And I did, but unfortunately, I couldn't find a board bigger than the size I have here.. To solve that problem, I used photoshop and continued on from the board and down with text that continues to describe who I am.. of course, I couldn't think of that many words so some of them were very.. random. I even asked my friends to describe me and wrote them down.
The board itself consists of a rainbow, lots of text, and pictures. I thought the rainbow could show that I am happy. A rainbow is colorful representing happiness. A rainbow won't happen without rain so that describes who I am.. I had some problems in the past.. (rain) and I solved those problems when I talked to some of my friends.. (sun) and now I'm happy! (rainbow) The rainbow symbolizes the process, the happiness, and a little of my past. The rainbow also frames the photo and adds a little more color.
The words symbolizes who I am, as what I think of myself and what others think of me. The pictures I drew shows that I love art, and I drew pictures of what I love, or places I wish to go.
In this photo, I'm placed at a spot that's not covering the pictures on the board. And I'm also using the rule of thirds. To add some color, I wore a mint green top that contrasts with my brown hair and I wore cat ears. I thought they were cute and it adds something interesting. I'm also holding flowers that covers half of my face, and the flowers show that I love flowers and spring!
Summer = freckles. I always hated those damn freckles. And collodion only makes the little beasts show more. Ho hum.
Two minutes exposure at f6.8, natural light, inside. I really, truly need a headbrace, or a place to work outside to have any hope of making portraits with wet plate. That, or a seriously fast lens. This one isn't fast.
