To the Shoulder
Just another reference photo. I’m not sure what I like about this one. It’s just kind of interesting. Not good; just interesting. This is my submission into Leanne Cole‘s “Monochrome Madness” for this week. The next one is hosted by Margaret … Continue reading

Shadowed Stare
This photo didn’t turn out how I hoped it would, and it’s not great, but I like the softness. I like the intensity, and it makes me think of being incredibly tired, too. Tired and stressed, perhaps. I hope you … Continue reading

From the Bottom
So this is not a good photo, but I like it anyway. Or rather, I like what it could be. This was taken solely to see if I could do it. I had to bend backward to get the photo, … Continue reading

Another long day, so here’s another practise self-portrait. I think I was trying to get something that was a bit moody, but I’m fairly certain I was more interested in how light could affect the feel of a portrait. I … Continue reading

MS Paint self-portrait, 2025
I started on this last year. I wanted to adapt this photo as I thought it’d look good in paint. I didn’t get too far. Maybe I felt like I wasn’t sure as to where to go with it or … Continue reading
