Portraits & Self Portraits

Tips for Self Portrait
1. Give it a timer, primarily about 10 seconds to get yourself prepared.
2. Change the angle of the camera and give it diverse feel to it.
3. Look away from the camera to give a more affective feel to make it seem as if it was a pose.

I will be shooting myself in the portraits, making sure i have a timer to take the shot,
possibly if i could i will be taking the portrait downtown area to give it a urban area.
I will have alot of diverse elements in the picture, i would like to add the rule
of thirds and making black & white with the camera angle being somewhere
above ground level and checking the lighting on the camera so i wont have any bad glare in the print and in the negatives.
