1)Think about your motivation and emotions: Blankly staring at the camera rarely gets good results. Be silly, don’t be afraid to over-act. The worst that can happen is that you fill up your memory card with useless photos; but you might also find yourself with a proper gold-nugget of a self portrait.
2)Use props! Are you a dad and a rocker? Bring your kid and your guitar. Are you a photographer? Add camera gear. Painter? Paint. Poet? Words. Make-up artist? Guess… You get the idea.
3)The most common mistake made by photographers is that they are not physically close enough to their subjects. In some cases this means that the center of interest—the subject—is just a speck, too small to have any impact. Even when it is big enough to be decipherable, it usually carries little meaning. Viewers can sense when a subject is small because it was supposed to be and when it's small because the photographer was too shy to get close.
I like the focalizing of this photo. The image tells a lot about the man in the photo including the notion that he is a musician.
I like the grit of this photo and I also like how the man in the photo co-exists with his surroundings.
I like the reflection demonstrated in this photo.
I like the blending of the subject with her background and at the same time such contrast.
I will be shooting one of my friends. I will be shooting in the hallway. I plan to take a close up photo of their face in order to create a beautiful simplicity.
