I Hate Self Portraits by swchappell

I Hate Self Portraits

Every year 52Frames starts the weekly challenges off with self-portraits. Here's this year's entry. Ugh.
Rare are the people who love their self portrait :-) I like the lighting on yours very much.

Well, now you can check off the list (o: It's very dramatic though- as if you're playing Hamlet in a very modern take on the Bard.

Cool capture. It is some interesting lighting.

Well done, I like the coloured lighting.

I hear you! I loathe self-portraits and selfies too. I love photography, but detest having my photo taken. I fully commiserate with you 😅
Having said that, you've done a stellar job here - it's a very neat self-portrait. The lighting is really engaging.

Cleverly done.

@corinnec Thank you! It isn't quite the lighting I was going for, but I think I came close.
@olivetreeann Thank you! No Hamlet for me, that look is more from my thoughts that I'd have to eventually look at this pic, lol.
@rickster549 Thank you! I was trying to replicate a look I had seen. This is close to what I wanted, I think.
@ludwigsdiana Thank you! Not quite the lighting I wanted - the red light in particular, the angle is off - but it's close.
@cocokinetic I'm with you, the proper place for me is behind the camera, not in front of it. Thank you!
@wakelys Thank you! I was trying to replicate a look I'd seen and got close, I think.

Very creative shot! And yeah I cringe at every photo I see of myself.
