Inspiration
This self portrait was taken with a Brownie Pinhole Camera, and I really like how it is blurred. It looks like it was taken behind a foggy piece of glass which blurs and softens his features. This also creates some bright spots, a lot of gray's and a few black areas. This made me think about texture and focus for my self portraits. I think holding a piece of fabric with some kind of pattern over light areas could be really interesting and add some texture and contrast to my picture. Another thing to think about it focus - if I want a sharp or blurred silhouette, which part I want to be in focus, where I will stand in the frame.
