I took this picture in the process of making self portraits for my school project and it came out pretty well, having good contrast and being exactly what I wanted. I tried many different poses and faces, but this one was the best one to me as it seemed unique. I taped my fingers, because I thought it would represent pain or hurt, maybe to match with my expression, and I was also coming out of rowing practice, so I was trying to prevent calluses. I chose to put my hands over my eyes because I thought it would be an interesting expression and I chose to take this photo in the car, because I thought the the dim light of dusk in front of me mixed with the flash of the camera would create great light in a black and white photo, as the background of the car would dark, but I light be bright which would make a contrasty photo.

Creativity means variety and trying new things. You will never learn creativity if you don't go out in the world and do things that you might not be familiar with because that's what creativity is all about to me.
