Capturing the self-portrait can be a very telling yet mysterious endeavor. It can reveal a lot of who a person is or create an even deeper dialogue into who the person is and what the photograph means.
This week’s assignment for the kid’s was just that to take a Self-Portrait, to capture oneself in a photograph. The photograph, whether it be telling or mysterious, was to form an expressioin of the kids’ individual styles, personalities, and interests.
Janae found her expression through photographing her hands and friends. Two things very telling about Janae. She always has hugs to give and a smile that lights up the world. Her hands she says “can do several things” and her friends mean a lot to her. It was amazing how she conveyed her love of people and her true kind self in her images.
