There’s only so much planning you can do with self portraiture. You can plan the lighting and the framing, and you can think about where you want to be within the frame. But once you’ve done that, you really just have to get into the frame and express yourself. Maybe that’s why I’m so drawn to them. I see self portraits (the successful ones, at least) as a form of performance art. You’re the visionary and you’re the subject. What do you have to say today?
