Taking on self portrait photography can be a great way to improve your skills, and practice the trade when you feel uninspired, don’t have an available model or an interesting subject. You can work yourself into poses that are just plain crazy, convey all kinds of emotions, dress up or dress down, go into the woods or just look out through the window of your living room.
You’ll definitely gonna need a tripod to secure your camera. You’re gonna also need to set the self timer on your camera or get yourself a remote shutter. One thing I also do is set my camera to continuous shooting mode to take a series of photos while I do my act, and then I’ll just choose the ones I like and delete the rest.
I’ve previously posted a handy video tutorial on how to take better self portrait photos, you can check it out here.
Here are also a few of the most creative self portrait photographs that I’ve put together to share with you. If you have some pretty neat self portraits that you’ve taken, please feel free to link to them in the comments below for the rest of us to check out.
