Would you attempt a self-portrait?!
self-por·trait
noun
a portrait of an artist produced or created by that artist.
Historically, in fact, artists used self-portraits as a kind of calling card, attesting to their ability to capture a likeness and giving a sense of their capabilities. And, yes,self-portraits are convenient exercises because the model is always available and works for free.
If you could submit your photo, have it pre-sketched and arrive to paint it - would you attempt it?
The selfie is a smartphone-produced version of the self-portrait, which has been a staple of art and photography history since artists first began seeing examining their own images in the mirror. The selfies you see today are mostly images shot with smartphone cameras, a way for the one shooting the picture to see themselves the way they would like to be seen. Thus far, the selfies have concentrated mostly on twins, mirrors, and the philosophical implications of disseminating the selfie via social networks and the internet, wherein the selfie can receive validation from their social circle.
