Selfie  by narayani

Selfie

Inspired by Desi’s post, I thought I’d post mine. I needed a head shot and some product shots for publicity, so here is one I took the other day.
that's nice - angle of head to shoulders gives it dynamism - I'd say find somewhere without the metal uprights - lighting looks good - but are you actually looking directly into the camera?

@anniesue thank you - yeah I shoulda got rid of the shelving, but I wanted some work in the background. Tricky. And so reluctant to take solo selfies! I think I’m looking directly(ish)

@narayani just a question of placing the upright behind your head? And you perhaps look a little more directly?

Awesome. I like the work behind you, and my only suggestion is to lift your cellphone up higher. Although you are looking directlyish at the camera, the eye contact with viewers isn't quite there because you are looking down at it - hence my suggestion to lift it higher up to look more directly or even up at it so that you look directly at us? (says me who's still battling to get it really right LOL!)

@seacreature you’re doing a much better job than me! Thank you both (@anniesue) for your advice and feedback!
