My self portraits are not about me. I use myself as a model for practice whenever I have an idea or want to try something out. It sure would be easier if I had a model and stayed behind the camera but sometimes I need to be both in front of an behind the lens. Sure slows me down. In this image I'm practicing off camera flash units and ambient light. I then worked on some post work in Lightroom just to see what I could come up with.
