Vintage Self-Portraits

By vintage, I do not mean old photographs of myself but new photographs with a vintage feel. I was just sitting and laying down and my camera was nearby. Since I decided to go natural (which means to grow my hair out from a chemically treated process known as a relaxer, so that my hair is in its natural state, colour and texture) for a second time in adulthood (I did from late 2002 to 2008), I decided to make a few quick portraits. The last time I made more than one or two self-portraits was on my birthday last year. Then, I was going for a beauty portrait appearance with full professional makeup, and I retouched those photographs. I like those a lot. However, I like these below too, with a more natural feel and a more relaxed mood (though a few have a pensive expression on purpose.)









I am going to use this one as my new bio photograph, since the previous one is from the batch of self-portraits from last year.






The mood of this one most closely fits my everyday mood. Reflective. Deep in thought.




While I was "transitioning" between relaxed hair and natural hair, I wore it in natural curly twists that I would take out and then wear my hair curly, which you can see in my last self-portraits that I made with my camera.
