What is more important in self-portraiture – envisioning who you are (i.e. your “true self”) or envisioning who you wish to be (i.e. your “best self”)? Why?
I think in a self potrait is is more important to envision who you are rather than who you wish to be. I think that this is most important because a picture should capture your true self so that when people look at them they know who you really are. If you took a picture of what you wanted to be it would not be true and this would create a false image to others. The definition of self portraits is a picture of yourself created by oneself, not a picture created by oneself of what he or she wishes to be. It is just more important overall to capture your real colors.
