Edward Honaker & Claude Cahun

I have done a self portrait using a mirror just like Cahun and Honaker. I have however used a similar technique to Cahun because I’ve used my reflection. I cropped my picture and put it into the lens of my camera and then used an image of the pride flag to highlight the fact that it is a huge part of my life; just like Cahun’s.

I did put my image in black and white to be the same as Cahun and Honaker however I believe that the coloured image works the best out of the two. My image is similar to Honaker’s because the camera is in focus more than my face. In Honaker’s image the mirror is in focus more than his face.

However my image is different to both artists because I didn’t use a natural light for my image because I took it in the evening which meant my light source were the LED bulbs which were in the room at the time.
