Ideas for a self portrait



This first self-portrait contains multiple images unified by the monochromatic element of black and white. Simple, but useful.













What better illustration of yourself than your shoes. You could repeat this process by photographing a view of your shoes and a book on the floor. The image on a book could be you. The title of the book could relate back to you. The floor could be another photographic element of your life.


Take a famous painting and morph yourself into it! Parts of your life could be design elements.

  2. I think that the shoe portrait idea would be perfect for students in middle or high school because they put so much effort into their choices in clothing. My niece even designed her own pair online and she's 14.

  3. I agree with Joy. It is interesting how you chose this photograph for a self-portrait because it something I really never thought of, but how true that it is such a good idea for a self portrait. I would love to use these ideas as an art assignment.
