Revised Ideas for Folio

I realised during my research that I am actually interested not so much in self portraiture, but conceptual photography. While trying to look up artists who made statements using objects I keyed in self portraiture, abstract portraiture, abstract photography. Then while browsing flickr I noticed a photographer who interested me and was exactly what I was looking for http://www.davenitsche.com/ .

So obvious, but it alluded me! My self-portrait, which did not include my own image, was a pre-designed concept. I wanted to capture an idea of myself using an arrangement of objects. Which, my research is making clearer, is what conceptual art/photography is all about.
