Alter Ego : n
1. a second self:
2. a trusted friend
3. the opposite side of a personality
I have never been one to voluntarily step in front of a camera. That’s probably why I am a photographer and not the other way around. I generally don’t like to draw attention to myself, and prefer to be the viewer rather than the entertainment. I dress fairly conservatively, and when I wear makeup, its nothing too crazy. I am shy. I always have been since I was a little kid. Being put into new situations with people I don’t know, frankly, causes so much anxiety that my stomach starts turning. But, all that being said, I have an other side of myself. She isn’t shy, she wears bright crazy makeup, and loves being the center of attention. You can say that she is my Alter Ego. My total opposite.
This has been and idea that I has been floating around in my head for a while. This Self Portrait is part one of a new portrait series that I am exploring. I figured who better to start this off with than myself. Everybody has an Alter Ego, not just Superman. I am also looking for more people that would like to participate, women and men. If your alter ego is a repressed fashion model, a super hero, a villain, a rock-star, or anything else, all are welcome. It’s an amazing way to see yourself in a new way, and to explore the side of you that rarely is seen. If anyone is interested in please contact me by leaving a comment or contacting me through my contact page, Facebook, however.
