20 Awesome Self Portraits
There is something very special about taking a self portrait of yourself. Being both the model and the photographer makes you feel very comfortable, relaxed and open for trying unique ideas. You don’t need to be afraid of the results because you have the control over what gets out, you dont need to feel shy trying cool ideas, because no one needs to be around when you shoot. No pressure, just you, your camera and all the time in the world. Check out these 20 great self portraits found on Flickr.
My self portrait became the symbol of freedom around the world in the past few years, and I really believe that the final result looks so emotional just for the reason I had full control over the image: both in front the camera, and behind the camera. As a photographer you know exactly what you want to create, and when you’re your own model its way easier to direct yourself and not someone else.
