John Coplans
Personal characteristic: show the detail of body, like texture os the skin and change of the color.
His shooting of part of his body was amazing. I never thought that self-portraits could use skin and light to create such a effect. Although this is only black and white photos, I can feel the atmosphere that mostly exists only in color photographs.
Claude Cahun
Personal characteristic: twins effect.
One of the self-portraits had use the special technique after shooting to produce this twin effect. But I liked the way he used his twin effects to express his multiple identities. Different people in society are like their own twins, they are similar but not the same. For example, I am the university student, my parent’s child, my younger brother’s sister, each of them is me, but only part of me.
Salvador dalí
Personal characteristic: mustache
I really like Salvador dalí’s mustach. His self-portrait became more interesting by a mustache. Compared to other photographers who usually take selfies seriously, I like his bizarre attitude. What I feel is that life is a comedy, don’t be too serious.
