My self portrait work has always been about letting out some build up negativity, so you know, I don’t end up killing anyone. And I really like doing moody portraits! I think my pictures are more true, raw, intense and interesting when I feel pain. It turns out that being newly unemployed, I don't have much negativity in me at the moment.
I’m just too damn happy. Fuck.
First world problems anyone?
Just look at that face trying to act a little moody, nope, I ain’t buying it. It seems that bitch needs to learn how to act. I can’t even lie because my eyes are so expressive, they give me away immediately.
For now, you need to enjoy my happy go lucky, chummy, giggly sort of self. I’m sure it won’t be the case for too long, because I'm a girl and all.
I take all my pictures myself with the Nikon D7200.
My dear, did you need me for something?

I completely understand you! The darker the place i'm in - the more creative i get. But yeah - from time to time life wants to mess with me and i feel happy - it helps when eventually everything goes back to hell and i have a burst of new and fresh ideas - but the dry points are sometimes killing me. What works for me is books. I suggest you check out (kinda doubt that you haven't tho) H.P. Lovecraft. He writes some dark and depressing stuff that always inspire me when i need to go in a bad place. Here is a shot from when i was in a fresh relationship and was happy af, but still managed to pull this out of me with almost nothing.
But tbh i have found out that some down time and recharge is good for you! Allow yourself to feel and express the happiness in your shots. Discover some different aspects of your art and maybe you will find something new or a good way to combine them. Take some colorful happy-ass portraits and let us see the outcome.

I take all my pictures myself, hence the SELF part in the portrait. It is a little tricky sometimes to get the focus right, but definitely not impossible.

It takes time to get good at self portraits, especially if you're using them to express deeper emotions. Keep at it! Don't give up, and don't hate your failures. That was the hardest part for me. And go with the flow, don't feel like you have to be static with how you frame, light, and express. They're your private pictures until you decide to show them, so have fun with it!

I don't think that those pictures are any less interesting because you are happy. Happiness is not something you should fear. I believe that happiness should be a natural state of all living things. World is full of majestic places, interesting sounds and views. Nice people. strange beings and plants. everything combines in to one glorious journey that we call life. So why should we not be happy most of the time?
keep on smiling and the whole world will smile with you...

This is my suffering self portrait and I dont have to even have to try to let it shine through. This was yesterday, less than 24 hours after the sprain, and to day it is too ugly to show. But even with heath insurance, a doctors visit and an xray will cost $150 or more, so I will monitor for signs of broken bones. If only I had Finn doctor..... PS sorry to all those who (everybody) who did to read these comments to see the ugly side of suffering.

My toe was pointed and rolled forward after an attempted volleyball block, jumping as high as I can, so it sprained both sides at once. I now have unanimous consent from co-workers and family that I should see a doctor, but have agreed that if the swelling does not go down tomorrow, or its painful after a week, then I need to see a sports orthopedic doctor. I have heard too many bad stories of people ignoring it and doing irreparable damage. Still, I think waiting a few days to see if its a normal sprain wont hurt as long as I am gentle with it. I may post my situation and progress on a post, because I have learned a few thing about what I have done wrong and right.

Ouch, I think you should really see a doctor! What happened to you?
I know they keep telling everywhere that Finland has a free healthcare, but that is a lie. I'm pretty sure the doctors visit would cost pretty much the same here.

Wow! This is truly a work of art - from the dim, melancholic lighting to the crooked, teasing smile, accentuated by the prominent yet delicate collarbones - I must say that I have never seen anything like this before.

impressive post, since very small art has been present in my life in many ways, paintings, drawings, digital art, but I say that photography is one of the most complex arts, since it must be very accurate to be able to transmit messages to travez of just a pose or an expression, and then your work is admirable! It is a very peculiar art which I call my attention, you have my vote and I will be following your post mate!!!
