For my creative (film) photography class we have to mimic a famous photograph and I chose to mimic Chuck Close's Big Self Portrait. I decided that I'm not mimicking Chuck Close per se, but rather that sort of stark, unapologetic self-portrait he achieved, so that's what I aimed for. I did test shots in digital first to see what kind of results I was getting with the available light, so I can only hope that the film versions look similar. From the digitals, this one is the closest I feel I came to capturing the same vibe. Somehow, it worked better sideways and cyan.
