Phenomenally soft and intriguing lighting, I'm torn between suspicious and reflecting as my favourites. A unique approach to the self portrait.

Guest 19-Apr-2007 09:50
Excellent shots...

Excellent work here. :)

Guest 11-Jan-2007 11:22

I like the unusual lighting and camera angle, 'Reflecting' is my favorite one.

Guest 14-Nov-2006 10:08
well done, like the lightning and especially the first one, great work.

Alain-Philippe BAUDRY-KNOPS 13-Nov-2006 17:02
Very beautiful selportraits, especially that I know that it is very difficult for photographer to pass in front of the lens. Not only the portraits are beautiful, but the photographer too
Best regards

"Confronting" photo reminds me to a World War II era propaganda poster.
"Hiding" photo looks like a Plato or Aristoteles .

Nothing wrong with that!

Great study! This is a really nice look at self-portraits.

Katarina Pantelic 21-Aug-2006 05:39
You have every right to be a bit narcissitic :) both in a professional and personal sense. Wonderful photos!

Phil Stubbs 14-Aug-2006 21:28

Guest 10-Feb-2006 09:02
Nice work with the self portraits. I like the 2nd (looks evil!), the third and the last one. I struggle though to find the link with narcotics.
...
Unless of course, you mean narcISSism B-)

Guest 04-Nov-2005 00:52

Guest 12-Oct-2005 09:08

Ernst van Loon 06-Sep-2005 18:32
Very impressive self portraits. The light, the expressions, the model are all spot-on!
Great job,
Ernst

Guest 18-Aug-2005 20:20
Very impressive self portraits -- one of the hardest types of photos to get right. I'd be curious to see some of the failed attempts.

Guest 09-Aug-2005 11:03
great s-p gallery, nice classical lighting and colour

Martin Schiff 06-Aug-2005 02:41
This is an outstanding gallery. So suble and yet so effective.

Guest 29-Jul-2005 06:59
Beautiful lighting

Guest 01-Jun-2005 03:47

Very interesting gallery. Great lighting and composition. I have seen this gallery before, but don't remember where from. Maybe it was on a popular gallery section or something..

You are not making SP, you are defining them! Voted.

Guest 17-Feb-2005 13:12
Oh, what a wonderful serial of male self-prtraits, without any need to stay partially hidden behind a big smart camera or to be ridiculously proud of body-builder's poses.
It's deep, intense and simply beautiful, my vote, for the little it can be worthwhile...

Guest 16-Feb-2005 13:33
I am not a huge fan of portraits, However these shots are awsome..

Best Regards

Normally my tastes don't run heavily to facial portraits, but these are fantastic great lighting and very moody.

Doug J 12-Feb-2005 14:12
Excellent use of lighting and capturing the models’ expressed feelings. A very strong visualization of human emotion.

Guest 09-Feb-2005 18:02
Haha, everytime I have a desire to take self portraits, especially if I have no shirt on, I get the feeling that they may be perceived as narcissistic.

Guest 09-Jan-2005 23:52
Excellent lighting and composition. Great gallery!

Guest 30-Dec-2004 23:02
Hey, getting people to model for you is not easy. If you got to take picture of your self then do what you got to do. I do the same, usually because when I feel like taking pictures I am usually the only one around.

Galina Stepanova 20-Dec-2004 19:06
Nice research of light, using the most patience model.

Guest 18-Dec-2004 22:47
These are great potraits...no narcesism. You make a great modell and i can see you are also a great photographer. You have mastered the light very well, that can be hard when doing self potraits.

Great job.

Guest 17-Dec-2004 22:33
