A case for self-portraits:
The model is always available (and at a very reasonable rate)
No one gets offended if the picture looks “ugly”
It’s the second best way to express the inner workings of your soul (right behind posting relatable-memes on the internet)
(this one is called “Do not ask how my day is going”)
Make up for a lack of discernible personality by using bright colours.
Avoid your less-flattering features with an unconventional crop.
Chronicle your artistic haircut journey.
Explore a range of vaguely-bored facial expressions.
Have fun.
