Day 3: Tony Is A Punk Rocker

If you're wondering about the title, it comes from Sheena Is A Punk Rocker. I tried to go for a bit of a Ramones look today. I don't think I quite nailed it because of the hair-do, but 30 days just isn't enough time to grow my hair to a decent Ramones length ;)

I don't know if it is enough of an impersonation to mark that of my themes list, but it does qualify for Full Body, Looking Away and Seated Outdoors.

Or does the sun count as a Single Light Source? :P

Day 2: Bass Bloke

Things I experimented with today:
- Bouncing and diffusing flashes for portrait photography. Who needs fancy equipment; you'll come a long way with a ceiling and tissue paper :P

Day 1: The Shave

I figured that if I'm gonna take 30 photographs of myself, I might as well start clean shaven so I don't look like a total bum.

Things I learned today:
- Camera's are pretty good at automatically focusing in mirrors, even if the mirrors distort the image (although I'm not convince my image is pin sharp)
- Never moisturize your face less than usual before shaving, just to get a nice picture. Irritated skin isn't worth your first self portrait.

Welcome

Welcome to my blog for the Official W1k 30-Day Self Portrait Challenge 2007™.

If you're here, you probably know the purpose of this blog. I see this challenge as a perfect opportunity to improve my technical and my creative skills (and certainly no over obsession with myself... in fact I can think of many more appealing subjects to photograph :P). I'm probably gonna try lots of new stuff during these thirty days, so I thought it might be interesting to note each day what I experimented with and what I learned that day.

So, feel free to comment and give suggestions and to everybody else participating in this challenge: have fun!
