A self-portrait is a representation of an artist that is drawn, painted, photographed, or sculpted by that artist. Although self-portraits have been made since the earliest times, it is not until the mid-15th century that artists can be frequently identified depicting themselves as either the main subject, or as important characters in their work. With better and cheaper mirrors, and the advent of the panel portrait, many painters, sculptors and printmakers tried some form of self-portraiture. Portrait of ‘man in a turban’ by Jan Van Eyck of 1433 may well be the earliest known panel self-portrait. Nowadays we take self portraits almost everyday through our phones and computers, therefore self-portraits have adapted to become even more interesting than those just displaying a true representation of a person. Self portraits have now become a creative way to express yourself through the use of digital manipulation. People are really exploring the ways in which they can adjust their self portraits to create surreal photos which portray a sense of their emotions or personality rather than simply a photo/painting of themselves.
