As photographer we rarely put ourselves on the other side of the camera. We prefer to capture than to be captured.
However, there is a long tradition in art of the self-portrait.
For this assignment I have to research a range of photographers and artists that have used themselves as the subject.
Discuss their use of material techniques and processes as well as their use of the formal elements and the principles of design in their composition.
How effective is the image and does it communicate a message?
I will be given an essay/presentation task in another unit along with a lecture to help me achieve this.So keep an eye out in future blogs for these too!
During my initial research I will be capturing and editing a series of self-portraits that help me explore and demonstrate what I have discovered.
