Artist Statement:
I have never taken a photography class until this year. I really enjoyed each project and learning more about photography. The self-portraits were definitely my favorite project out of every other project because I got to show different sides of myself and use my imagination to create different feelings and emotions. I learned by doing these self portraits that it only takes a little effort and creativity. One thing that really surprised me was that some of the finished products didn't end up looking what I wanted them to but they ended up being the best self-portraits.
