Digital Self-Portrait

Digital self portraits 08-09

A self-portrait is a representation of an artist, by the artist and no matter what media the artist selects to work with, the one subject that all share is that of themselves, the self-portrait. Self-portraits are not just a physical reflection but how the artist sees themselves and the world around them. It is the most personal story that the artist can create and makes the self-portrait one of art's most important subjects.

The digital self-portrait helps the artists make unusual and thought-provoking self-portraits with photographic images and digital media. The artist selects to experiment with digital cameras, lighting conditions, lenses, filters, photoshop techniques, and printing methods in order to express a unique self-image.
