I took this photo a few weeks ago when I had to take a portrait of myself for something work-related. I’m fairly certain this was a test shot and I wasn’t going to do anything with it, but I decided to process it because I like how it looks.
This is my submission into the three hundred-and-fortieth Lens-Artists Photo Challenge. The theme for this one is “Portraits“.
I feel this photo works for the challenge in the sense that can function as a portrait obscured.
The host of the Lens-Artists challenges cycles weekly between the following people:
This one is curated by Ritva. The next one is curated by Tina.
I recommend joining the community and participating in the challenges. They’re pretty straightforward, allow room for interpretation, and provide a good way to think about photography in general. If not, however, then at the very least you should check out what others submit to the challenges.
I hope you enjoy.




Stop, a reaction many have when you point a camera to them. The message is very clear in this portrait.
