SELFIE: Self Portrait

For a little background, I am a portrait photographer who absolutely loves taking way too many selfies. For my project I took the raster self-portrait prompt and turned to the idea of the selfie. I decided to portray my everyday life in photos that I tiled in the background as well as on the objects which I utilize every day (i.e. my pillows and blanket), representing my life through selfies. 

I included a lot of photos of only myself, but I also included several photos of me with my friends and/or family members. I call this my Selfie Self Portrait, and I have titled it “Vanity”, due to the fact that I take way too many selfies. Selfies and portraits of me taken by others are definitely a part of who I am, because I love to document what I look like, who I am with at any given time, and my experiences with photos. It is important for me to not only have a memory of the place in my head, but to also have a memory I can hold and show others.
