Model +photographer

I have not tried this very often. Seeing this may encourage me to try more. It does look like a lot of fun.

I can't see the fun in this photo but I love the atmosphere. I was taught or rather had it drummed into me you never include yourself  (the photographer) in the image. This rule was busted apart for me when a very well known photographer submitted a photograph with her shadow in it! Ah, said the know alls of the photography world, she is famous you are not. So I go by how I feel about it now and not by what others say or rules they make. I like this image with the photographer in, to me it feels right. I looked at your entire portfolio and I like it very much. The black and white works very well. Your choice of older model works well here. Well done and well done for your portfolio.      

Quite the effective selfie... I particularly like the bow tie as an added element.

Beautiful!!
