Default A single self portrait

I like the light here.

Black and White - Self Portrait

I'm going to college in a few days - looking forward to it. Hope the portrait communicated that.

I like the simplicity of it, especially with just the black and white.

Nice light and composition. I like that you left yourself some room on the left side of the pic.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate it. Think I'll try to start doing some more minimalist compositions...

That's a great shot! Mind sharing the lighting setup you used?
