Alyssa's Photojournalism Blog: Self portrait and self portrait Part 2 AND Rules of Photography Part 2

1. The best thing to do with self-portraits is to get them out there – sure, they’re great for learning, and good fun to take ‘em, but as a side-effect, you get some bloody great photographs of yourself, so why not just flaunt it ‘cos you’ve got it?

2. You may want to make photographs of people going about their business—vendors in a market, a crowd at a sports event, the line at a theater. You don't want them to appear aware of the camera. Many times people will see you, then ignore you because they have to concentrate on what they are doing. You want the viewers of the image to feel that they
are getting an unguarded, fly-on-the-wall glimpse into the scene

3. Photographing your shadow is another way to do a self-portrait. Shoot early or late, when the sun is low in the sky. A light, stucco wall, a sidewalk, or any other simple background can suffice. Just be sure there aren't a lot of distractions around the surface you choose.

For my shoot I'm planning on taking pictures of one of my friends. I think it would be really cool to go shoot downtown were theres a lot of action going on and different backgrounds. What I will do to make the shot successful is make sure that I know all of my rules of photography very feel. So while I'm shooting nothing looks weird in the photo.
