I really like this. Everything seems to flow together so nicely. Even the hair which could seem out of place, isn't. Well done

Nice, you must have one hell of a lighting set up too. I'm no pro but I know good lighting when I see it!

One of my favorites now too. =] But I noticed... in many of your photos, that you're both the photographer and the subject. Do you use a remote control or something? Sorry if this is a repeated question, I've been curious quite some time and I just decided to ask now, hehe.

My other photos used to be done with a timer. Now I use a remote that I either hold with a hand that isn't visible or I put it on the ground and press it with my toe.

I can find anything to complain about in your photos.. not to say i'm looking for something to complain about, it's just I never find anything wrong or too harsh in them. [:
The colors and the lighting are magnificent. I also really love how you get into character for each self portrait you take. For instance, this one, you're dressed in traditional Japanese formal clothing, from what we can see.
And in Lullaby part one and two, you're dressed very vintage and in dark clothing, to go along with the feel. That's a nice touch each time.
After all, who doesn't get dressed up for their self portraits? ;]
Your eyes and makeup are lovely...
This is one of my favorites out of all of your work.

Oh wow, I really love your eyes the most.
The way you did your make up is fantastic.
Great job with the photo as well, especially since you took the picture yourself.
That is quite a hard thing to do for a pose like that. Well, at least I think so.
You're extremely talented with photography!
Keep up the awesome work.

hey, i like this one best from the 2
donΒ΄t laugh but it took me like 5 minutes to figure out why its called eating the koi ...i didnΒ΄t see it
i like how the focus is on the face and the hand as well!

There actually are no koi in this photo.
But it's interesting how many of the people who commented have tricked their eyes into believing there is just because of what they read.

I love the way the umbrella takes up the whole background and makes you look sort of secluded from the rest of the world..It makes one focus on you more too.
Good job

Aw, the colors go together so well. :]
Your self portraits are always lovely.
Did you camera do the focus or did you edit it?
π: 0 β©: 1
I use a 50mm lense. So the focus is natural.

π: 0 β©: 1
NOT A NIKON.
I had a Nikon before an it broke after only having it for a year or so.
I have never had a problem with Canons in all my time of having them.
