Self-Portrait

Self Portrait Study, Day 1 – 1/125s f.14 ISO5000

I am currently working on a series of self-portraits. This is my first one, inspired by the work of Jaf Jian. For my makeup, I used very pigmented red and purple colors with gold accents, to match the flowers. For lighting I used a light on a stand and a golden reflector to create warm shadows. I set up my camera to the right settings and turned on interval shooting for 50 photos with 3 second intervals.
