  • HOW TO TAKE PHOTOS OF YOURSELF- SELF PORTRAIT TUTORIAL
    Link to video 10 Self Portrait Ideas When the Camera Doesn’t Love You:
    • 10 Self portrait ideas...
    In this video I’ll show you a bunch of tips how you can take self portraits both with a smartphone or your camera. I love to take self portraits and do almost all my photos by myself, and I’ll show how you can too! :)
    I’ll also show you how you can do those really fancy top-down photos, both by building a crane thingy for your camera plus 2 ways you can do it with your phone.
    Thank you so much for watching!
    PS. Subscribe to my channel yay!

      if you aren't gonna print the photos in huge sizes, and you just want your photos for social media or small print, the latest phones have fantastic quality and do the job, I print a lot of my iphone photos in small sizes and I love them!

    I just found your channel today and it's been very helpful for me, thank you! I'm a professional photographer but I haven't been shooting for over a year now, just because of lack of motivation and feeling very jaded about the whole process. I used to do conceptual, fantasy, and surreal photos for various alt fashion magazines but I find them pretentious now. I don't know why but I can't get over the attention getting factor, so I started spending a lot more time outside and completely embraced nature photography which is my one true love! haha But I still like to do self portraits but I am so stuck in a rut with them because of the same reason as before. I don't want to try too hard or it just seems so fake. Like I literally get a uncanny valley feeling from the images and it becomes disturbing. But I love your ideas, they are exactly what I am looking for to spark my creativity again. Soft, simple images, so much more introspective without being extra.

I have been doing photography for a little while but am pushing into it seriously now and loved everything in this channel because I would like to get more shots of me as I travel around and I do get around most of the time alone. Thanks for the ideas, keep up the great work can't wait to see the rest of the channel. Had a quick look at your Insta, and it looks very cool.
