the best of 2020 · My self-portrait project

At the start of last year, I decided to double down and commit to a personal project that I’ve been working up to for years now. My new year’s resolution was to make one self-portrait a week with my family. Then, a global pandemic broke out. As such, with the exception of a wee bit of outdoor client work, making self-portraits is what I did in 2020. I seldom picked up my camera otherwise.
