For thousands of years, artists have used self-portraiture as a means
of perfecting their technique. From ancient cavemen, to the classical
masters, to Salvador Dali in the 20th century, artists have looked to
self-portraiture not only to discover new aspects of their artform, but
also as a means of self-discovery.
Today, photographers world-wide are stepping out from behind the
camera, and placing themselves in front of the lens. Thanks to
photo-sharing websites that display thousands of beautiful and unique
self-portraits, many photographers are finding that not only is
self-portraiture a wonderful, exhiliarating way to practice composition
and lighting - amongst many other skills which are valuable to portrait
photographers - it is an honest expression of self, and a way to share
their experiences with other photographers.
Each of the photographers whose work is featured in this post has
their own unique way of expressing themselves in front of the camera.
Some use natural light, while others use studio lighting. Some take a
more natural approach to post-processing, whereas others take a more
conceptual route. Whether you consider yourself an amatuer, or a
full-blown artistic self-portrait photographer, these self-portraits are
sure to inspire you to step in front of the lens.
