Description
I think we all feel a bit insecure at times, especially when we are exposed.This is my first attempt at a portrait style picture. And my first time modeling (if thats what its considered). My girlfriend wanted me to take pictures of me in a tie i wore for a speech. So i went home and took some. This is the first another series. Let me know what you think.

The first thing that my eyes and brain register when looking at this picture is the color. Iβve seen some badly done photos where the artist tampers with the colors too much; therefore making the whole image look strained and too washed-out and fake. But the way you did this is perfect. Your face still holds its color without being fluorescent pink or orange, and the rest of your body follows suit; each color having its own depth.
The model composition is rather good as well. Iβve seen all of the pictures in the series, but I think this one is my favorite, because of the pose and expression. I donβt want to follow in the tracks of those who favor commenting on the looks of the artist in the pictures, flaunting their appreciation for them in sentences like βyur hot!β and such; but I like how your face is captured like this, because it shows off your strong handsome features. I did notice the wrinkle under your lip, but someone already pointed that fact out, so I wonβt hit on it again.
You have a brooding, calculating look to your facial set, the crossed arms and solid stance only adding to it. I can almost see the wheels in your head cranking and turning, your thoughts seeming to be along the lines of that moment and your own emotions towards it. Because of this I think that βInsecureβ is a good title for the picture, because under all of the brooding-ness, thereβs still a small hint of vulnerability hidden among all the rest. And point-blank, I love your hair and facial structure. Eyes too. ^__^
Overall I love the idea; simple and sweet, with a cool colorful twist to it. I like that you took a simple request for pictures to the next level, adding an artistic flair to them. Very nice, Jesse.

Thank you again for the extensive writing, i really appriciate that and that it was more than just a "joo B hot!" 
I was also very pleased with how the colors came out.

"joo B hot!" Indeed. *scoffs at lack of commentation*
Ah, thank you for what you said about my being mature. I've always been told I acted more mature than my age was said to be, and I'm glad that the fact still holds true. I also want to thank you for your answering my comments. So many times when I comment someone's artwork the way I see it, and through a detailed explanation, all I receive in return is a "Why, thank you," "Thanks a lot!" "Thank you so much." etc etc. Though they may be nice, it means a lot that you actually hit on the things I said in my comment, and give me more than a one-liner. I appreciate it ^____^.

Your maturity surely shows. I try to sound somewhat knowledgable with my return comments

You dont know what insecure means?
1. Not sure or certain; doubtful
2. Inadequately guarded or protected; unsafe
3. Not firm or fixed; unsteady.
Thank you

That's a great shot Jesse, I really love the idea, if you want you should try different things like not looking into the camera/ colours/ angles and see how it looks! Very original though! woot

I took a couple different shots with different positions but with the same angle. I wanted it all to be the same concept of me crammed into one corner of the picture and everything else overexposed. Ill upload the other ones i have. Thank you!

very serious-looking haha. I still think they are good.

Thats my normal face

You look like someone at my church! That's good, by the way

overall I like the idea of the concept but you should have paid a little more attention on what you did when you rested your chin on your arms... (no offense but) now there is a quite nasty looking wrinkle under your lip... but keep trying it looks promising
may I ask how you did this? I assume with self-timer?
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you for pointing that out. I actually didnt even notice that until now. I like comments like this. Im sure my big bottom lip doesnt help with the shadow thats there
Yea i used a tripod and a self timer. Sat across the table from the camera and opened the blinds all the way so that the sunlight overexposed most of it.

Don't be discouraged, portraits are in my opinion one of the hardest things to do and with self-timer they are merely a game of chance

This is true. Ill try not to be discouraged
