self portrait project

if you follow me on instagram you may or may not have seen the picture that I posted with the caption "i am having way too much fun with this self portrait project.."

i am taking a photography class with some local girls. the teacher is a local wedding photographer, and i literally can't tell you how much i love this class. my mom even told me that my photography has gotten better since i've been taking the class, and the class is only held once a week. 

pretty impressive ;) 

so anyways, this weeks project is to take self portraits. today, selfies are very popular in the world of teenagers. the twist to this project is that we had to use our "real" cameras and we couldn't just sit in front of the mirror. 

so i discovered the self timer feature on my camera and sat down in my room and shoot 400 pictures of myself. 

yes, 400. 

that's a lot if i do say so myself. 

here are the top five that i'm going to be showing my class. 

i like them together so much, because they kind of show all different perspectives of my personality! 

have you ever taken/painted/drawn your self portrait?

i'd love to hear your thoughts! 

thanks for reading
