I certainly enjoyed most of them even if some were quite creepy. I agree with Adam above me. Anyone interested in doing or looking at self-portrait photography should definitely check out Woodman’s work. She has amazing work!

To me some of them are great, very well done… some of them, I just do not get. I’m not saying they are bad, but I’ve NEVER understood the whole “put something over my head and call it art” thing, it seems dumb to me and played out by people who attended art school. I guess I see it on Flickr and such A LOT with people putting “horse heads” masks on among other things and calling it “art” it bothers me.

Most images tell stories, several of these are entire books. They are amazing, I spent 5 minutes pondering each one trying to figure it out, thinking about how it was done and what the photographer’s mindset was when he took it.Thanks for bringing them to my attention

I would love to be capable to doing something like this because I find my style really similar to Kyles.
There is one problem though. What Bert McL already mentioned was that “doing what they want and feel rather than a client telling them what THEY want”. So, because of clients wishes priority I think we loose our precious view. Ofcourse there are always time for your projects, but how much of it can you use, if you are over-swamped with regular do-a-lot-basic-kind shoots

These are really great. It’s refreshing to see photographers out there doing what they want and feel rather than a client telling them what THEY want. Keep it up, great stuff!
