Self portrait with Jenny. I used a cable release, with the camera on my tripod. The original was in colour, but when I got the prints back from the developers, I realised that mine and Jenny's tops clashed quite a lot, so I converted it to black and white - it looks better!! I used natural light from a window (we were facing it), which is why the background is quite dark.
Lovely photo that reveals relaxed intimacy and bonding in a relationship. Hard to stage shots like these, I know, I've tried. I like the eyes' going separate ways and out of the photo, because it accentuates that it's not the dialogue with the camera that is the central motif here. I would like to see some more black space above their heads, and possibly more extension at the bottom, but otherwise, this is an excellent photo.
