Self Portrait – Day 6 of 7

Self Portrait - Day 6 of 7 Back to the straight on image, shot down "length" of the office, but getting a little tighter (unflattering).

Friday and I had a little more time today, I also had left the lights out from the day before as the plan was to build on that. (In case you have not noticed, I decided after the first 2 days to also show the way a portrait can be built in the same location with easy changes to the lighting).

As ever confidence deserted me at the last moment, with the worry of jobs I may or may not get, leading me to pack a couple of additional lenses (the 16-80 for example - 24-120 in "real money" ).
