The Art of Self Portrait Photography

May 6, 2020



As a travel focused account I’ve been faced with the issue of… what am I going to post about? I can’t travel, and there are only so many photos I have of my travels that are of good enough quality to share with you all.

So I decided I would utilize this time to practice my own photography skills by learning the art of the #advancedselfie.

Why learn self portrait photography?

The reason why it is important to me to learn how to take my own photographs is to not have to rely on hiring a professional photographer at every destination I visit. As much as I LOVE working with professional photographers, I want to have the skill of taking a photograph of myself whenever and wherever I want to.

Equipment needed for self portrait photography

Self portrait photography involves using multiple tools. Below is a list of some of my favorites.

Camera

High Quality Tripod

Bluetooth shutter remote,

Phone

Ring Light

Self Portrait Ring Light
Self Portrait Ring Light

Selfie Stick Tripod

Most importantly: It also requires the confidence to set up a self-photoshoot in front of strangers… this is the part in working on. Below are some of the items I use for my advanced selfies (not an advertisement, these are exact products I purchased and used).
