Last week the third Undiscovered meeting was held having the theme of self-portrait.
Everybody agreed that the tricky thing about self-portraits is first finding out what of ourselves we want to actually show. See the results on :

Graham shared his secret for a good self-portrait : using a width angle, take a picture during the golden hour.

This meeting the subject is portrait of someone or something personal and close. Can be a person, an object, a place …

Working on portraits raised questions like about the definition of the portrait — how central the face or the person must be on the photo so we consider it a portrait, how to handle “social discomfort” of making someone pose, candid shots vs. asking for permission.

Hwa Young suggested that for the next assignment pushing the portrait theme further to the AUTO-PORTRAIT. Hopefully, this will make us think about how we see ourselves and how this can be portrayed in a picture.

Post the work in progress (you can also post new portraits if you still work on the previous topic).

See you next meeting. New topic : Self-PORTRAIT some people have already been working on their assignment. A link to the flickr group. Add yours!
