Self Portraits

I remembered this excellent article on window lighting for portraits today, because I needed a headshot for the Ottawa Folk Festival program.

I got out the tripod and snapped about 85 or so shots. It was kind of fun to do all the positioning, and I put a dark blanket over Jen’s screen to use as a backdrop. Here’s the one I sent off.

Another one I liked a lot is under the cut, as is a funny one so you can see what they looked like in colour. (I converted the images to black and white using the channel mixer technique that I read about in a photo magazine a few months ago.)

I’m also including some funny ones I did with Apple’s Photo Booth application at a computer store a few weeks ago.



Another one I like

Funny expressions are funny

These ones were taken the other day using Apple’s Photo Booth application. Man that is a weird program.

mug shots

I do not know how close you were sitting to the camera, but all these pictures are very distorted, not just the last few. You do not actually have a big flat nose! You should try sitting further away from the camera and then crop the pictures. The second to last one is actually the best in terms of a likeness from the mouth up!
