We will be doing a self-portrait project, and I will need a photo of you that I can crop and edit.
Take the picture in the daylight next to a window, so that the light is coming from one side, creating some nice highlights and shadows. Take it from the top of your head to your chest. You may look straight on or slightly turned, and you may look serious or smiley.
I will be removing or blurring the background and making it black and white when I edit.
You may want to avoid showing your teeth, especially if you have braces, but if you like an extra challenge, smile with your teeth.
Attach it to an email to me. It should be full-resolution.
