Indulgence

I have been working on this series of self portraits since January 2017. The one aspect I always forget to address is the challenge of creating these without any assistance, and this image (“Indulgence”) really shows the struggle as well as the payoff.

It’s not easy using yourself as a model when you are all alone in the studio, but I enjoy that challenge. I set up lights, my camera, and control all of them with a wireless remote. I tape the floor to mark my feet, then put an object in place of me so that I can get the focus right. After that I set the remote to shoot a picture every 4 seconds, and the rest is just acting the part!
