Artist's Comments



but how could you complain... when i'm so easily amused

This is not supposed to be artistic. I've felt down about myself for a really long time, and for a while I even removed all photographs of me, including my ID. I didn't plan this photoshoot, it just happened that i looked in the mirror while changing and decided to take a few photographs. Although I've been done 5 or 6 different self-portrait sessions over the last 10 months i haven't really been able to post them, but this one felt special.
It is not the most amazing composition, but I couldn't particularly move that closet ^^; and also decided that I did not want this to be a clean-cut shot, I wanted the particular quirks of my room.

This photograph is personal and it's supposed to be empowering for me. I didn't expect it to be this successful because my self-portraits usually aren't. So please, no more flaming and mocking, just don't fav it if you don't like it.

P.S. And I always wanted to jump on the "self-with-camera-impliednudity-shot" band-waggon :iconfishyplz:

I met in the street a very poor young man who was in love. His hat was old, his coat worn, his cloak was out at the elbows, the water passed through his shoes, -
and the stars through his soul.
