Self-portraits, or: How to Photograph Yourself Quickly, Easily, and Well

▤ Summary

Here we’ll be talking about how to take a self-portrait—a photo that’s interesting in its composition and technique, with some thought put into it, where it’s clear at first sight that you took it yourself. You focus, then switch into manual mode, press the trigger, and move over to precisely the spot with your pre-positioned object. Well, if it’s a picture that you’ve thought up yourself and prepared yourself, including the camera settings, and all your assistant did was press the trigger, don’t worry, it’s still a self-portrait. If you have a camera that can connect to a phone or tablet over wifi or bluetooth and remotely controlled via an app from there, then you have the simplest solution right at hand. If a self-portrait has added value, an idea behind it, and some thought put into the light and composition, let’s call it a “self-portrait” (no matter what you used for taking the picture).
