Self Portrait

When taking a self portrait, I believe it is more important to take the picture as a combination of who you are and who you wish to be. The picture has to represent you and who you are in the present first, to express to the viewer you. It is also important to put specific details in your picture that express a part of you that you are not but wish to be. This is because who we want to be is also who we are. Just because someone is not a singer at the present moment does not mean that is not who they dream to be or are working towards. The only difference would be if our pictures were to express some one or something that we are not working towards to be or want to achieve in being. Our imagination and goals create us and it is important when expressing ourselves we express those thoughts too. So in my own self portrait I would express a little bit of my self and who I want to be so people can really see or know me.
