Off the Wall
I found something I don't believe I have ever shows you before; a set of self portraits back from 2016. This was around the time when I started to get back into photography, having abandoned my camera for a couple years, and replaced it with the iPhone, despicable! These pictures have only been shown on Instagram, you guys are the first ones to see them in a bigger format.
Judging from the length of my nails, I have been on a summer holiday from my job, and used that time to get back into self portraits. I still had dark hair, and I think I started to grow out my natural colour somewhere around the seconds half of 2016. I liked the raven hair, but putting poison into my scalp once a month was something I didn't want to do anymore. I miss it sometimes but overall, I'm pretty happy being more natural.
I think my self portrait work has come a long way from these times, but I still like a lot of the same elements; smoke, mirrors, available light and skin. I do not miss the fibreglass wallpaper of my old apartment.
Shot with the Nikon D60 and Nikkor 35mm f/1.8.
Probably a good idea. The cigarette is for effect or you actually smoke?
For effect, I don't smoke regularly, basically only for pictures and sometimes when I'm out.
It certainly adds some effect. I didn't expect you smoked much to be honest. Nice set of photos. I have enough trouble getting a good photo with the camera in my hands let alone like you do! Timer I guess right?

There is just something about smoke that intrigues me. I also like to model with my hands, smoking gives them something to do, instead of flop around weirdly.
I never use the self times, it's hell to work with! I either use a little remote, like I did on these pictures, or the Nikon/Fujifilm camera apps on my phone. The phone method works better, but the big ass iPhone plus is harder to hide in pictures.
Sounds legit. I mean your photo's are pretty good, I'm not a photographer of course, but to me they look good and that you set it all up yourself...Pretty cool.
Sounds like a good blog in the making here...All the creative ways you've come up with to hide the iPhone.
Smoking hot. I can see how you’ve learned and grown over the last couple of years in your skills with selfies. But I love how you point out the consistent smoke and mirror elements. That long been part of who you are/how you identify yourself. Xo
Thank you love! I guess I kind of knew what my style was, very early on, but I do like to experiment with other things and build my skills.
You’ve inspired me now...going to share some older photos myself. Thanks for this!
I love these "oldies", Eve. They have such a special atmosphere. (Of course I love your newer ones too!) :)
Thank you very much! :)
I think you evolved and advanced a lot in taking self portraits.
Having said that these are good enough especially the ones with cigarette and smoke
Haha, I'll take the "good enough" as a compliment, but only this time, thanks! :D
lovely photos
I like them a lot. And the dark hair!
Thank you Ross! Don't like the dark hair too much, it needs to stay in the past.
Thank you Ross! Don't like
The dark hair too much, intends
To stay in the past.
