Self Portrait: An Exploration

Sell photos on photrade | By MSchoonmaker

 

I figured an adequate way to start off this blog would be a self portrait.  Yea, thats me.  I applogize for subjecting you to what is, well, me, but its to late for appologies.  

This photo was really spawned by my trying to get into stock photography.  I had just spent way to much time over at DIYPhotography.net and made a home depot run.  

What i wound up with was two “clamp work lights” (such as this), and one straight up typical lamp fixture (had to wire it myself, go me)… After that add a couple of n:vision daylight lamps and waaaaaa-laaa.

This shot only envolves two of the lamps.  the Clip ons.  One on each side of my face, fairly close. 

Then Camera, Tripod, Remote, Shoot!  I did come out with some other severely entertaining poses, but this really says it all.  Its now my everything picture (facebook, twitter, myspace, photrade, flickr, ect, ect… ).  Go Me.
