5 Simple Ways to Take Impressive Self-Portraits

Portrait Photography
By Taissia Iv / July 13, 2017

What is your opinion on self-portraiture? It might be a form of art you’re unfamiliar with, a genre you admire from a distance, or even something you’d like to experiment with one day.

Vulnerability and the Art of Taking Meaningful Portraits

Portrait Photography
By Taissia Iv / July 2, 2017

I’ve been taking photos for over 8 years, but I still feel very intimidated during portrait sessions with familiar subjects or stories, including self-portraits.

This is Why You Should Be Taking Self-Portraits

Portrait Photography
By Dzvonko Petrovski / April 27, 2017

Let me first make one thing perfectly clear: when I speak of self-portraiting, I do not refer to the “selfie.” “Selfies” and self-portraits are not interchangeable terms, nor do they measure up to the same level in photography.
