Let’s begin by leaving the selfie behind.

Self-portraits enable you to experiment, try new lighting, try that idea you were considering, experiment with poses, build your confidence before you begin working with clients, capture a period of your life, get to know a different side of yourself and be more creative with your picture making.

You will need some way to take a photo, a stable surface to leave it on, and a way to set a self-timer. If you are using a camera it will be handy if you have a tripod and a remote.
