Portraits are Awesome

So, for our last photography assignment, we were supposed to take pictures that best represented ourselves using the techniques we learnt in class, like the rule of thirds that I mentioned in the last post. I tried experimenting with various concepts and ideas, but I decided in the end that I really wanted a simple self-portrait that expressed me. I played around with light and shadow and in the end I got some really cool effects that looked like they weren't even done with a simple point-and-shoot. All I did was point a lamp downwards and take pictures in the shadows created by the light.
