Self- Portraits

Image 1 – Take a picture of your reflection – could be mirror, window or any reflective material. 

Image 2 – Take a self-portrait of your shadow.   Think of a funny or creative scenario.

Image 3 – Take a self-portrait that doesn’t include your face. 

Image 4 – Take a self-portrait with only light coming from a window and you holding or wearing your favorite    or most prized possession.   Then write two to three sentences about this prized possession.  

Image 5 – Take a self-portrait where you are in three different parts of the frame.   

Directions:  Set the camera in one position and be sure it doesn’t move!  If it does move then try     again until you have three pictures where the camera is in the exact same position.

a.       A picture of yourself on the right side of the frame.

b.       A picture of yourself in the middle of the frame.

c.        A picture of yourself on the left side of the frame.

Note:  Images 1 & 2 can be handheld.  Images 3-5 you MUST use the self-timer mode!
