Part C- Self Portraiture experiments

As i have already mentioned i am at the very beginning at starting to prepare for my final Major project , i have a lot of ideas at the moment so nothing is refined but one of  my ideas includes self portraiture. I have never even attempted a "selfie" never mind a self portrait ! The famous saying 'face for radio' springs to mind. As an initial idea i want to explore my love of awkward portraiture and i couldn't think of anything more predominately awkward than putting myself in a self portrait scenario. I also have interests photographic relationships ,how people pose themselves in front of the lens and there interaction with on people in the photograph. I decided the best thing to do before refining concepts is experiment with self portraiture and adding others into the frame . It was just a one day experiment and i think that's all i needed to put me well and truly off the idea ,this may sound vain but i cant stand the idea of looking at myself in pictures for a whole project. I just don't work in front of the lens only behind. Also i didn't get my desired effect of awkwardness , i feel us all being awkward about the situation just turned into stupidity on every ones behalf. Oh well that's what test shots are for just disappointed that i bought the remote control before trailing it . On the other hand i feel i could use it for other things, I found removing the photographer from the back of the camera also removes some of the awkwardness , i would like to experiment with this theory further in the near future. I have included a selection of my unedited test shots below.
