Self-Portrait
In a self-portrait you become you own subject. This is a chance for a person to reveal as much or as little of themselves as they choose. It can relate to your life, or who you are as a person. You also choose the setting. In its essence it is about yourself.

Lighting for Formal Portraits
Outdoor Lighting
When working outdoors direct sunlight can be harsh; therefore, not making it the most suitable source of lighting in pictures. Shooting in open shade, such as shadows from builings or trees can help filter the light and make the subject more comfortable.
