Description This is a part of my final project for the Introduction to Photography class. Shot this over spring break during the last week of March with cooperation of ~ casus-solari
I asked him to draw an abstract self-portrait of himself on the lawn bag- he drew the image within a minute.

The first photograph of the series can be found here: [link]

The last photograph of the series can be found here: [link]

The first photo is a portrait of John wearing his own self-portrait.

The second photo is a portrait of John ripping apart his own self-portrait.

The last photo is is a portrait of John staring down at his self-potrait which he ripped apart.


Taken with a Canon Elan 7NE camera, using 28-105mm f4-5.6 Lens with Kodak Tri-X 400 film. Minor dust and scratches cleaned up, and a black border added with Photoshop.

An excellent work, Mssr. Henri Just woke up from 20 hours of sleep, and now I see John wearing a homeless man's helmet... I'd say I like the striped shirt in contrast to the detailed paper, and the look on the model's face is perfect. Perhaps less top composition, and more scraggly newspaper on shirt action but that's just me.

Ah, I kinda liked the mid-grays. Maybe I was just used to it like that, however it still looks good now. I'll keep my mouth shut this time and just favorite it.

Ok now ...
i like this one
you can interpret so much conceptually into it
so thats cool
the only thing that bothers me are some of the graytoes and lack of straight up black
if you made the image just a tad bit more contrasty i would say kickasss mofo ninja ... now its just a padawan ninja
increase the contrast a bit if ya could
