As my blog name suggests my main focus for my final folio will be based around self portrait but instead of tradition portraits part of what I am going to tap into the new art form of the "selfie"
selfie
ˈsɛlfi/
a photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically one taken with a smartphone or webcam and shared via social media.
"occasional selfies are acceptable, but posting a new picture of yourself every day isn't necessary"
No I am one to take a lot of selfies but I won't be posing or making the duck face in any of these photos, no what I want to center on for this work is the unexpected selfie. The idea came to me after I realized my phone would take photos of me randomly and most of the time really unflattering but others the photo would catch me in a moment of laughter or deep thought, with the image and colours blurred in some which I thought look almost dream like at times, so I thought would be a good starting point for this folio.
Here are some of the shots I have captured.
