The Clothes Horse

I’m not really sure how many pictures I take—especially because I delete as I go. I set my self-timer up to take 8 in a row (those snap very quickly and usually 1 or 2 will be kept), if things go well I only have to shoot about 8 different shots—trying to move myself or if I’m feeling creative the camera around. I definitely try to pay attention to composition when I’m setting my camera up—I use my purse as a stand-in which can also help me guess how I will look in a space (will there be a tree coming directly out of my head, if I shoot through these flowers will they obscure too much of my body and face, am I in a shadow or do I have to attempt being backlit, etc). The best shots end up being ones that happen from the minor adjustments of repositioning my body and re-angling the camera while taking pictures.
