SELF PORTRAIT

The photographic theme of Self-Portrait goes far beyond a literal image of the photographer. It is an exploration of identity, emotion, and personal narrative, conveyed through intentional visual choices. Using a range of techniques—such as light and shadow, reflections, motion, abstraction, framing, or symbolic environments—the photographer becomes both subject and storyteller. Each decision, from composition to timing, helps communicate an inner vision or state of mind, allowing the image to suggest who the artist is, how they see the world, or what they wish to express in that moment. A successful self-portrait invites the viewer into a personal dialogue, revealing meaning not through explanation, but through visual language.
