Portrait Project – 12/52

March 23, 2014 by [ayu]

To commit myself in the 52 weeks of Portrait Project, I knew that at some point I’d have to do a self portrait just to complete the whole portrait taking for a year experience. I knew I’d have to do it because it would be the most challenging to me, and therefore would be perfect for this project.  I call it a big challenge because first of all, I feel less comfortable to stand in front of the camera than […]

Day 291 #Project365

October 17, 2012 by [ayu]

Every time after having my hair cut and coloured at a hair salon, I always have this narcissistic urge to take a self-portrait. The reason is quite simple, really, because it is practically the only time my hair looks so great. I’ll have this great hair day for two days, then the magic will be over as soon as I do my first hair wash at home. So it is rather ‘important’ to try to capture these rare great-hair-moments.

Feeling quite tired after spending almost the day out and found myself totally empty on ideas to post today, I thought I’d give it a try. So here was […]

Day 29 #Project365

January 29, 2012 by [ayu]

I honestly am running out of idea for today’s daily photo. We just got back from Sydney and I felt a bit tired and lazy. I was running out of things at home to shoot, and the day had started to turn darker. I finally decided to take a photo of Bruno, my dog, who I’ve been missing for days because we had to leave him at the kennel. The house never feelt quite complete without him around so I […]
