Introduction

This blog is for my project - Photography and the self. For this project we have been looking at self portraiture, and have done a few tasks, such as taking a photo to represent ourselves, and also a "faceless" task, where we have to take a photo of ourselves, without being recognisable. I enjoyed this task and it helped build my approach to the project, where I have been looking at being able to know a photo of a person without seeing it's truly them. Which is why I picked silhouettes, as you can tell it's a person and maybe even a certain person, but without seeing their true identity.

For the project I will be looking at silhouettes, and how to make them, and looking at a technical side of it. I will also be developing a conceptual side to this.
