Matt's Self Portrait

It's hard for me to define myself as just one thing – I'm Jewish, a journalist, salesman, boyfriend, son, etc. But it's easy for me to establish the longest running theme I've had in my life: musician. The songs I write aren't normally very happy, so I thought the darkness and shadows would help bring that out visually.

Joe - Self-portrait

I'm hardly a serious guy in front of others. But when I take pictures of myself, I always look so damn serious. So what better way to show both sides of my personality with the portrait above. Serious, but not. This was taken in the Honolulu Advertiser newsroom. There's at least three elements in this shot that represents me: jokes, comic strips and news.

Ubay - Self Portraits

I know you said one, but I'm putting in two.



This is me being creepy. I put the camera on a towel on my bookshelf, and aimed it downward. I auto-focused from there, hoping it would focus on something near where I would be sitting. I set the timer, then sat down. I realize I should've had the screen on Facebook or Google. Shot at ISO 400, 1/15 sec exposure at f/4.0



I'm looking at the man in the mirror. I'm asking him to change his ways. This is on the way to the Taj Mahal in the back of an autorickshaw. I saw myself in the mirror and thought, "Hey, I can make this work." Shot at ISO 400, 1/400 sec exposure at f/6.3
