Self-Portraiture – Home Photoshoot

For my self-portraiture project, I wanted to take images that captured me in my home environment. While practicing on my guitar in the evening, I thought the lighting was perfect for an impromptu photoshoot, so I set up my camera on a tripod and used the self-timer to take some images.

I shot some photos whilst I used my phone, practiced with my guitar, and listened to music. I tried moving around to see how the light reacted on my face and was left with some rather interesting compositions.

I was particularly interested in the way the light formed somewhat of a white outline around the back of my body when I faced the right-hand side of the frame, as it brought me more into the foreground of the images. I also used masking tools in Lightroom to lower the sharpness of the background.

These are all of my final images from this shoot.
