Sunflowers makes me happy. I was looking for a place to take a self-portrait for a photography class. I am usually never in front of the camera but this time I did not have a choice. My assignment was to be able to represent who I am.
If I have to represent in my portrait who I am, then I had to do it outside and wanted light, color and brightness. I am 100% an outdoor person, I love nature, I love the natural light and in general I am happy, blessed and I want to project that. When I was looking for an outdoor place to do this, I decided to go for the sunflower field that a local farm have near by.
My Love and supporter.
I had an obsession with sunflowers in my early twenties, but even though time has passed, and I am no longer obsessed with sunflowers, they still are one of my favorites. Even though the younger years are gone, sunflowers make me feel young and full of life. Xamara Maisonet, http://www.photolifestories.com, travelmystories.com, http://www.xamaramaisonet.com
Sunflowers are always facing the sun, they look for light. I am always looking for light in my life, happiness, positivity and beauty. When I say beauty I mean beauty in life. The image above is the one I used for my assignment. I decided to cover part of my face, like wearing a mask because it is what we are living right now.
Well, since I was already there, I thought to myself, might as well have some fun in front on my own camera.
