After taking a bunch of photographs, I selected the ones I was most pleased with, and altered some of the levels slightly on Photoshop, just to enhance some of the colours.
I like the composition on this picture; the angle, with the direction of my eyes means the photograph flows well.
I know this photograph is slightly out of focus, but I like the colours on this image. The vibrant reds work nicely with the complementary blues of the eyes.
And finally, my favourite out of the set. I think the colours in this image are striking, however I would like the blues in the eyes to be more enhanced. I also like the lighting on my skin; it's flattering, no ageing shadows, just soft ones.
Composition is very hard to work out in a self portrait, I just had to use my judgement, and much of the time it worked. Because I controlled the colour and the set, and played around with positions to achieve correct lighting, it came together well in the end.
