An interesting shot - it's just a shame it wasn't lower down to avoid the harsh lightbulb. You could have crouched down so that your hands came lower than the screen, then the image could be cropped at the screen edge. Try obscuring the bulb - it looks so much easier on the eye and draws you in to the shape of your body without so many clues as to what you're looking at..

Nice composition with good lighting and detail.

Not an amazing composition (or incredibly original) but this is a pleasing shot. It may have been worth holding the camera in the middle of your body (and snapping a few until you get the shot you want) so that you don't see the hand holding the camera to your eye. It would make the image a little more evocative.

This tells a very impactful story. It makes me think about what you've been (or are going) through. Despite a quite plain composition the lighting is good.

A very nice composition - how did you achieve this without a time exposure or multiples?

Awakened State (Self Portrait 1)

An interesting shot though a bit too soft and indistinct. With such an unusual angle it would have been good to see some more texture and detail.

You're looking a bit off-colour there mate - and you've lost a bit too much weight. An enigmatic concept, intriguingly shot.

Nice concept. Did you hold the camera or use the self timer?
