Self Portrait #3


"I don't know what I want, so don't ask me
Cause I'm still trying to figure it out
Don't know what's down this road, I'm just walking
Trying to see through the rain coming down
Even though I'm not the only one
Who feels the way I do

I'm alone, on my own, and that's all I know
I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh but life goes on
I'm just a girl, trying to find a place in this world

Got the radio on, my old blue jeans
And I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve
Feeling lucky today, got the s u n s h i n e
Could you tell me what more do I need
And tomorrow's just a mystery, oh yeah but that's ok"

Self Portrait #2


"Real life is a funny thing you know. In real life saying the right thing, at the right moment is beyond crucial. So crucial in fact, that most of us start to hesitate, for fear of saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. But lately what I’ve began to fear more than that, is letting the moment pass with saying anything. I think you deserved to look back on your life without this chorus of resounding voices saying, I could of but it’s too late now. So there’s a time for silent, and there a time for waiting your turn. But if you know how you feel, and you so clearly know what you need to say. You’ll know it. I don’t think you should wait. I think you should speak now."

This definitely took a lot of patience. And glitter.

Self Portrait #1


Hello! My name's Rosie, and I love everything about photography really. Fashion and beauty photography mostly interest me; along with portraits, landscapes, macro, nature, dramatic lighting, pretty much anything. I most definitely want to incorporate photography into my career someday. My camera goes with me everywhere. I love taking photos of really simple things, but capturing it in a way that will show it's true beauty and make a great photo. For this first self portrait, I wanted to keep it simple. I feel like even though it is a simple photo, it still reflects my style. I set the camera on the windowsill, put it on a timer, and let the natural lighting from outside shine through. The room was fairly dark regardless, so I had to set the ISO to 1600 which I would have preferred a lower ISO. I edited the lighting, curves, coloring, and contrast a bit in Photoshop. That's about it, thanks for reading!
