Photobooth fail

This is my self portrait, although I'm not entirely happy with it. I wanted to show various different sides of my personality and I don't feel this has captured 'me' fully. I was inspired by a photo shoot of Elle Fanning for LOVE magazine spring '11, which I believe was originally inspired by this photobooth series of Edie Sedgwick, taken by Gerard Malanga, 1966.

I guess part of the reason I was drawn to the photobooth idea is because I'm pretty indecisive as a person and taking just one shot, expressing one mood, wouldn't be enough for me. I decided to edit my selection down and just picked four images to display as a strip in the style of another traditional photobooth print, which I think works better than before, especially with the black border, but I'm still not entirely content. I really love photography, it's one of my strongest skills and I don't quite feel this showcases my talent fully so I think I'll shoot another self-portrait later on.
