My Autophotography in the Quarantine Life of COVID-19 Pandemic


#fridayvibes✨

Autophotography
What is auto photography?
It is an autobiography in pictures of yourself
A photo book of your self portraits.



Writing is a labour of love.
I have never had time to be admiring the beautiful and wonderful creation of Almighty God in the camera until the unforeseen circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic forced us to retreat indoors in self isolation or self quarantine for the control and prevention of further spread of the #Coronavirus and save our lives.


Producing a photo documentary on how I have been using self portraits to show the different facial expressions of my moods from the months before the #lockdowns  to the surreal months of the lockdowns has revealed that you can channel your stream consciousness positively in optimism or negatively in pessimism. You can use self portraits to overcome your anxieties and fears of depression and loneliness as you discover yourself without the distractions of intruders or visitors.
You become both the actor and director of your own true life documentary and you are the master of your universe.
