So dive head first into capturing your perfect selfie images, and let the world know that you are more than a mere ducface...
Welcome
Photography is more accessible now than ever before, with even more of us buying an smartphone just for its 16MP camera, even those who say they have no real interest in photography often buy smartphones with good camera's nowadays
However, "smartphones with good camera's" are no substitute for traditional, conventional camera's. The image sensor on a smartphone is so small when compared to an APS-C sized one found in most digital camera's, so low light photography can look muddied on images taken on a smartphone, and no amount of software can generate bokeh as beautiful as a fast 35mm or 50mm prime lens.
What this publication sets out to do is to give you a clear and concise understanding of the basics of photography, which need not just apply to self portraits, but other area's of photography as well. It is not intended to dissuade people from taking selfies by looking down at the selfie phenomena, but more as a tool for those who wish to take images of themselves to the next level.
Inside these pages you will find plenty of handy and helpful hints and tricks to create better images, for personal use, or to share on your favourite social networks with the entire world, and lets face it, by the time you have finished you will want to show the world your memorable photographs.
I have been seriously into photography since my teens, and have been a fashion, fetish and glamour photographer in the past, shooting many wonderful and exciting models.
The wealth of experience I have gained from those amazing models I have worked with, as well as my own personal experiences with photography, will inspire you to be more creative about the photographic process, as well as easily explaining seemingly technical aspects of photography such as exposure, I will nerd out occasionally.
Every image of me here is a self portrait.
