Yeah, it is the same sort of feeling when you are doing photos for yourself, and even harder again I think when you are actually in them as the main subject. As with design making something that just looks nice is relatively easy, but making something for a reason, to serve a purpose and send a message is harder. For this little project it was just about trying to match an image to some words, to try and represent some text as an image. Actually, one of the shots happened the other way round, the “…breath and shadow…” shot was something of a happy accident.

Adam,

You’ll just have to hold on tight, I am sure Ash will reveal her whole range of apparel soon enough! :)

I often find designing for myself much harder than designing for someone else, usually because it’s harder to nail down exactly what I want to achieve or say. Are similar difficulties present when taking self-portraits? Was there anything in particular you were trying to achieve with these photos, or were they sometimes more of an exercise in the photographic process itself?

How was the Speak the Web conference?
