Self Portrait Saturday: ‘Gateway’

Today is my first self portrait for ‘Self Portrait Saturday’ for 2013. Hope to see you every week for each new photograph in the series. If you have not checked out the self portraits for 2012 you can see them at Self Portraits 2012 Pt. I and Self Portraits 2012 Pt. II. Would love to see other people’s self portraits. If interested grab the icon from the side bar for your blog and post a link in the comments to your post. I look forward to the rest of 2013!

My family and I like to go on country walks on Saturdays and so I brought along my wardrobe selection, camera bag, and tripod for the journey. I would like to start adding more videologs to my posts so here is the first one. I have changed to a new You Tube account, but will be uploading previous videos soon.

Video Log 23.02.13

There was a car passing by me on the narrow country road during the middle of this video. Hense the pause and quick segway to my familia. Thank you for checking out today’s post and hope you are having a wonderful weekend!

‘Heirloom’ Self Portrait by Bonnie Bonnie Rose
This one is a special one for me because it represents more than myself. The tattoo on my arm is the F111E, the plane my dad flew during the Gulf War in the 90’s, my memorial tattoo I got after he died. The fur stole I got when I was in Uni, after my dad’s father passed away. I went to the funeral and it was something I was given as we cleared out his father’s place. It had belonged to my dad’s mother, who died before I was born. I have my father’s eyes, and in this image I really see his mother. Though all three people are gone, the memories, reminders, and heirlooms remain.

I have not shared my self portraits on this blog before and would like to commence doing so this year. I will start with sharing the first thirteen of my favourite self portraits from 2012.

Want to see Part II?

‘In Your Eyes’ Self Portrait

Wanted to show how a person would look in the eyes of someone who all they can see is the other person. I created distortion and blurs in camera using a wine glass positioned in front of the lens. I took this self portrait with aid of a tripod.

Flying

Self-Portrait by Bonnie Rose
for 2012 Self-Portrait Competition for the theme: Flying. I used trick photography by putting together two images, exactly the same though one contained a chair. Wanted to express the height that music can take us when we give into the music and/or lyrics and put our worries and worldy stresses aside.

Bridal Self Portrait

Taken at my home studio.

Gotta Move

For the Self Portrait challenge 2012, theme: ‘You Gotta Move’. I really want to do more and push myself more, but sometimes its a little scary to just let go and be free creatively. I tried to express that in this image. The force, depicted by my hair being blown up and the feathers of my skirt being blown about. The not wanting to let go and to hold onto old perceptions that I cannot go further or push myself more. The birds being that ideal of being free and following off in the direction of breeze.

Aint no Sunshine

www.bonnie-rose.co.uk Image for Self Portrait 2012 challenge for ‘Aint No Sunshine’. I took two images the same day. The first is from inside a castle I visited. When I got home I took a shot of me in the dark with just the light of three candles. Two below and one to the side (that is still in the image). I put the two images together for this composite.

Black or White

For Self Portrait Challenge 2012 for the theme Black or White. Chose to play with shadows to see the toying of the choice of the darkness (black) or the light (white) and the shadows (Grey) in between.

Have you Seen the Rain

For Self Portrait Challenge for theme have you seen the rain shot with a 50mm. Bonnie Rose Photography @ 2012

‘Out of Time’. I took this spontaneously while walking through Pompeii. I wanted to show the movement of time passing too quickly with me in many places at once amongst the left over remains of a fallen city. Time is always passing and we often talk about how quickly it just slips out of our reach. We can wish that time would slow down or we cold go back in time, but we are always moving and racing forward till the end of our life.

Holding back to memories.

Waiting.
