Introduction to Digital Self-Portrait Photography

“We have come to the end of the course. Thank you for accompanying me! I hope you've taken a liking to it and feel comfortable creating your own self-portrait. I leave you below the main steps to follow to complete your project. This can be the self-portrait you made following the exercises or you can create a new one! In any case, take care to document the different stages of your creation and add a brief explanation of what you did in each of them as well as your choices. Mood board and preparation Create your inspirational mood board and get your outfit ready for the photo. Next, set up your home studio and make your filters. I advise you to test them before choosing which one you are going to use.

Set up your camera gear taking space and light into account. The Photo Shoot Pass in front of the objective! Vary the poses and have fun. Remember that there is no one in the room but you, so let go.
