    While tinkering with my DSLR camera, I noticed the camera’s “Creative Filters”. Since I was studying some Abstract Expressionist painters at the time such as Mark Rothko, I was inspired to try to create some photos that were “Abstract”.

    Faceless Self Portrait plays around with the idea of taking a picture of yourself but your face is not shown. To achieve this, I took two images in front of a mirror, with my camera visibly blocking my face. After that, I raised the exposure and positioned the camera in such a way that the background went completely white.
