Arty Arm's-Length Self-Portrait

Challenge #4 in the Jaysen dog-foods challenges series. Hosted by Jaysen Marais.

Challenge has finished

We want to see you take on the newest (and most maligned) photo genre: the arm's-length self-portrait. A shot of you by you minus the trusty tripod is the aim here. Get the camera in hand and get creative with your lighting, setting and composition. Prove to the social-networking crowd once and for all that the arm's-length self-portrait need not be mediocre.
