A couple of weeks ago, I took my final photographs for my introduction to photography class at RISD. {Fun aside: I took with the lovely Kristen from A Kapple A Day!} We had to take self-portraits--and our only instruction was to avoid taking photos of ourselves in mirrors. Since I currently lack a tripod, I had to get a little creative. This is just a little sampling of what I submitted at the final class...
No, I don't have a foot fetish. I just thought it could be a fun perspective. Gus was happy to
pose in that first photo because I was giving him a treat. He's such a dog-cat.
How do you think they turned out!?
How else might you capture your self-portrait without a tripod?

psst: Do you see some initials you recognize? ;)
Have a great Thursday, blog buddies!

P.S. I doubt you could forget, but tomorrow is Friday--which means it's almost Friday's Fancies time! Can you believe it's the fourteenth week of FF fun?! After the stellar turnout last week, I can't wait to see what all of you fashionable ladies have in store for the blogosphere this week. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to reach out to me! As always, it's no holds-barred fashion: dream to your heart's content and share it with the world!
Remember: the Royal Wedding Guest Attire edition of Friday's Fancies is next week (not this week!)
I certainly won't stop anyone from posting them this week, I just wanted to offer that little reminder ;)

how fun! That's a good idea, I think. I bet you get an A.
ReplyDeleteI guess my uncreative idea without a tri-pod would be to prop the camera on something else,haha.
Love the photos!!! Very creative!!!
ReplyDeleteremember when I was a better bloggy reader and actually knew how to create a friday's fancies post? I need to re-learn lol.
ReplyDeleteI think what you chose is such a great idea for a self portrait.
I'd maybe photograph family members and friends all together because I like to think they have given me a lot of input even without words in becoming who I am

Um, could you please become a photographer / wedding planner / decorator / life coach and come back to DC and help me? Love.

ReplyDeleteLOVE these photos! so creative and unique. my fave is the one with you inital :) xoxo jcd :: cornflake dreams
ReplyDeleteVERY nice! I love that one of your cat. I think it is the best one. Good work!
ReplyDeleteYour Gus honestly looks SO much like my Gus it's not even funny. Fuzzy tail, furry ears, white chest. Mine is a grey + white Maine Coon. He's a beast!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos - I'm sure you'll get a good grade ;)
LOVE them- especially the A one- fabulous!!! And I'll be linking up tomorrow to be sure and can't WAIT for the royal wear next week:)
ReplyDeleteI have a dog-cat, too. Now if only I could photograph worth a damn...
ReplyDeleteI love all of those photos! On the first picture, your cat looks so cute. On the second one, that A makes the picture even more beautiful, and on the last one, I really really love cause there's a reflection of you on the water <3
ReplyDeleteDefinitely an interesting and insightful take on a self portrait and much better than a mirror shot. I like the image with the shadow too. A series on shadows would be cool!
ReplyDeleteThe photos are amazing! You are so talented! I think the one with Gus is my favorite. What a great cat :)
ReplyDeleteLove it! Especially the kitty one! So cute! =)
ReplyDeleteLove! So simple and creative!
ReplyDeletei LOVE these photos...your kitty is so cute and that reflection on the pavement is super duper artsy! Just love it! :)
ReplyDeleteUm...is Gus your cat??? Seriously...wtf...he is freaking ADORABLE. I want to squish his little face and squeeze him!!..in a totally normal non-creepy-cat-lady kind of way.
