    I'll dump the photos I tke of myself in here. I do different facial arts, so I suppoe it can be considered artwork. I use myself as a canvas...I also sometimes go plain.
    There are also photos where the cmera messed up to create some very nice/strange looking effects on my face.

    My favourite image ever of myself, no effects included...I'm serious. My eyes are really set in so that sometimes they appear as lrge black pools.

    Creepy, yet quite appealing. Regardless, you look like a zombie. I don't know if that's what you were going for.

    In all honesty, I don't find this Photography.
    It's more like pictures of your face, not a portrait. A portrait, more or less, will be a person, and have something interesting or personal around it. In your photos all I see is someone who likes to takes pictures of their make up. I guess it'd be alright if the purpose of the photo was to see the make-up, but I've seen this attempt for photography so many times it's not funny.

    Here's a quote I found that sums up what PORTRAIT photography is:
    Considering that we don't see people freeze because we are always moving, we will be able to use the photographs to find their characters.
    Here's a portrait that I enjoy that displays this: [link]

    Also, helping add to that character, here are a few aspects that can be added to a portrait:
    -Lighting
    -Editing
    -Angle

    I really hopes this helps if you are serious about photography.
