Day 7

7/365, originally uploaded by Aaron LaRue.

I rolled out of bed today and came to a realization: it's time for me to get a haircut. Before summer came, I used the excuse that I was too busy with school to get one. That excuse has run its course, and now I just look like a bum. It was fun while it lasted, but I feel like it makes me look like I'm 16 again, and it's time to chop it off. This picture was pretty straight forward, went into my bathroom and used the shower curtain as a background. I stuck a flash shooting through an umbrella high above the camera pointing down at me, Classic Hollywood beauty lighting. 


This shoot also lead me to another realization: I am a terrible, terrible model. I don't know if I'll be doing a lot of self-portraits for this thing, we'll play that one by ear. Stay tuned for the "after" shot...
