Happy 2026!
Finished 2025 by losing 62 lbs. A birthday coming up, so another year older. Looking forward to doing new photography events & continuing to build my business. Finished strong in '25 looking forward to an even better '26.

To help me with getting my camera out of its bag more often this year, I decided to participate in the 52 Frames weekly challenge.
This week’s challenge was Self-Portrait with an extra challenge of using Rembrandt lighting.
I used my camera and my tripod, win-win.

Okay, so who else is doing the 52Frames this year?
For those that don't know, it is a weekly, free photo challenge. Global.
Set up for ALL levels of photographers.
This is my first year with it, although I have done two other Project 52s.

#ArtofSelfPortrait
A black and white self portrait shows a man from the shoulders up emerging from deep darkness. His bare upper torso and neck are softly lit, while the background dissolves into pure black with no visible detail. The light comes from one side, carving the contours of his face and leaving the opposite side partially submerged in shadow. His head is turned slightly toward the light, not fully facing the camera, creating a three quarter profile that feels contemplative rather than confrontational. His eyes are visible and focused into the distance, not looking directly at the viewer, suggesting introspection or quiet thought. Fine details of skin texture are clearly rendered: subtle lines on the forehead, the grain of the cheeks, and the natural irregularities of age. His short hair is brushed back and gently illuminated along the top, catching highlights that separate it from the surrounding darkness. A trimmed beard and mustache frame his mouth and jaw, adding weight and maturity to the expression. The lighting emphasizes structure over softness, defining the nose, cheekbones, and brow with precision while allowing shadows to remain dense and expressive. The boundary between light and dark cuts through the face gradually, not abruptly, creating a sense of depth and emotional nuance. No accessories, clothing, or contextual elements are visible, reinforcing the feeling of isolation and focus on the subject alone. The overall mood is calm, restrained, and introspective. The photograph conveys presence without performance, vulnerability without exposure, and a quiet dialogue between light, shadow, and identity.
Week #1 of 52Frames: Self Portrait!

It’s been a bit but I’m back and beginning my 2026 52 Frames journey.
2026 52 Frames, week 1: self portrait. Used the bright sun behind me to get a good silhouette look.

A little lighting fun for #52Frames_selfportrait. Going to try new techniques this year.

image is of a woman; me, in fact.
Anyone else doing this? I just joined on a whim. Maybe it's the kick in the ass I need to shoot regularly again 🤷🏻♀️

A #self_portrait not as introduction,
but as boundary.
Less explanation.
Less invitation.
What remains is deliberate.
(Color was final submission)

Struggled a bit with #52frames_selfportrait.
I tried to do an silhouette like we did in school with the students. But, I couldn't manage the bokeh and keep a sharp outline in the space I was in. I settled for a tight crop, tried to go a bit abstract. #52frames #selfportrait #monochrome #photography

“ 1. Shadows of Creativity ”
In 2024 my husband had a medical emergency that took me away from my 52frames project and photography (most everything else too) for a while. The first of my 2025 weekly pictures.

Here's my first submission for this years first week of the 52 frames challenge, selfportrait

This week’s theme: SELF PORTRAIT
I wonder what adding hashtags after the fact will do.

I signed up for 52frames.com to broaden my photo skills & because I do well w/challenges (something something people pleaser). Week 1's self portrait submission is the first one but whenever I do a self-portrait, I seem to take at least 50. So the 2nd was an outtake. #52frames #52frames_selfportrait
