In case you wanted to know, I'm taking a digital photography class in school right now and love it. It's so much fun. That is, unless it's the day before a project is due and I haven't taken a single photograph.
Oops.
I take much better pictures with models, but how was I supposed to get somebody to model for me last minute? So today in an act of complete desperation, I used myself as my own model. In the pouring rain. While wearing a tank top.
Although I can't say I make a great model, at least one of the 228 pictures I took will work for my digital photography assignment!
I will let you guys know that both my camera and I were completely drenched in rain. I feel so bad for my Canon. I already promised it a special photoshoot if it behaves and doesn't get messed up because of the water.
Below are a few of the (NOT YET EDITED!) pictures that I took of myself, and when I finish editing some of them, you will be able to find them on my "Photography" page. If you haven't looked through those pictures yet, click on the tab that reads "Photography". I'd love to hear what you guys think! ☺

I learned a lot today: shooting by yourself is extremely lonely and awkward (especially when people drive past you when you're soaked with rain, makeup dripping down your face, and an old suitcase in one hand), but it's possible to get some kind of cool pictures. ☺ Maybe I'll try another self-shoot some day when the weather and lighting conditions are better! The rain and dark skies made for some not so great photos, so hopefully I'll be able to edit some better lighting and rotate the pictures so they're straight!
In the meantime though, I'll stick to using friends as models and staying on the other side of the camera. I feel much comfortable being the one taking the pictures!
What do you guys think of my solo-style photoshoot? It's definitely not my usual style, but it was kind of funny to set up a tripod and take these!
Hope you guys had a not-too-terrible Monday and weren't outside catching hypothermia during an awkward self-shoot like I was! Love you guys! ♡
