I have an idea    :iconhightonight:

I want to make a new series, with your help.  I already started it, I have 3 diptychs, made in collaboration with dA friends.
It goes like this. You send me one of your self-portraits, and I use it to create a diptych, in association with one of my selfs
I even found a name for this series :   Di-a-Log   as the particular  diptych format evokes  an exchange between the 2 subjects.   The results I have so far are of intimate conversations. You -we- must not fear it, as we are only characters in this story I’m creating.

So please, if anyone is interested,  just send me one (or preferably many)  of  your auto-portraits :eager:

I only have 2 conditions here:
- That the portrait be unedited.   a texturized image,  a squared B&W  photo will not leave me much room to play!  I know it’s scary, (I personally am incapable of doing it) send them to me fresh out of the memory card. If you send  6 or 10, I’ll be happy!
- That no one gets mad or sad if I can’t do it. inspiration is such a fragile thing, I feel inspired today, I may not be tomorrow. So give me time and perhaps another try if it doesn’t work.   8-)


If you’re interested, send me a mail with your images in high resolution, but not more than 4 MB each please, my download speed is lower than you can imagine!  my mail :   privatedanser@gmail.com    and yes, danser with an S,  that’s how I thought it should be. :O

be warned, this will be a slow collaboration project, with no date limits or obligation of results.  
if you still want to participate, i'm happy :iconwindanceplz: very happy !

are you still working on this project? i would like to participate. also, would you send me one of your self-portraits? i think it would be interesting to compare our diptychs when they're finished. just a thought. :)

i am, theoretically at least. for a while i haven't been able to do it. (i lost my desire, to be honest)
but i intend to continue with what i already have, i hope.
please send me if you can, and you are free to use any one of my self portraits in my gallery (there is a folder called "self as a subject" )

Hi there!
I'd like to know if you accept other self-portraits than faces... I'd like to participate but I am too shy to photograph my face :ashamed:
a hand or foot could work?

of course! it would be a pleasure to find a match to whatever you send.
but take in consideration it might take some time. i'm getting busy preparing for another exhibition, collective this time.
it's a deal then, send me a body part (oh, that's sounds creepy! no blood please!) :D
