Self Portrait.

What is more important in self-portraiture – envisioning who you are (i.e. your “true self”) or envisioning who you wish to be (i.e. your “best self”)? Why?

In self portraiture, its more important to envision yourself as who you are(hence the name "self portrait.") When one looks at a self portrait, they see who they really are and others can get so much from a photo just by looking at it. One would be able to see the persons emotions, structure, and everything in the background. In a self portrait, a viewer will notice everything about the picture that makes a person who they really are.
