A couple of days ago I wanted to create a new profile photo for my Facebook, plus I just purchased a new tripod that I was taking for a spin. The lights were set up in the basement for food photos I have been taking for Heather, so I rearranged things, put up the black muslin and used the wireless trigger to snap off some self-portraits.
I really didn’t give a lot of thought to how I looked in front of the camera, just made sure I was in frame, adjusted some lighting and snapped off some shots.
In the photos I took, I was partial to the the ones looking away from the camera. This feeling of introspection that I think this protrays seems fitting as I have felt a lot like this lately.

Two really nice photos Jeremy – so which one did you choose to use on your Facebook Profile?
If I had a vote I would go for the 2nd one above – the first one is fantastic but you look a little too sad which is not necessarily right for a FB profile pic (just my opinion though) whereas the 2nd one you look deep in thought and intelligent and that’s cool for FB – so which one?

I chose the one where I am looking down for my current profile pic. I am planning to experiment with some additional self-portraits in the near future though, so it will likely be replaced soon anyway
Well just went and looked at your FB profile page and it does look good, better than I thought LOL just goes to show how images can look completely different depending on what other colors they might be surrounded with
nice job Jeremy – if I ever get back to your area (doubtful from the UK) I will have to commission you for a portrait – you do great work! Have a nice rest of your day 
Can you take my self portrait
You have always been such a handsome man, and these pictures show that nicely. I like the pensive introspective look of these. Well done.
