A Self Portrait in Cloth
A day to experiment and document
Feelings of vulnerability crept around me during my self-portrait session. While it isn’t rare for these feelings to be there, which can be attributed to making a video along with my experiments. I’m not used to it, and I have very little patience and experience. And yet, a part of me has been wanting to document as videos for a while.
It is not the traditional form that is uploaded on Youtube, even amongst channels focused on photography. My main desire is to discover a manner in filming that I enjoy. I want to experiment and show clips of my life in a way that doesn’t disrupt it too much (e.g setting up tripods, lighting), or give a false impression of the process. It’s a lot more simple than most, and I tend to not push myself prior to larger shoots.
It is the morning after now, and I found myself waking up at noon. I have never done that before, and instead of shame, I decided I needed it. My dreams found themselves to be a strange blur, and somehow more interesting than my waking hours, so I held onto them.
