Writing a short biography about yourself

I actually have NO pictures of me otherwise; I'm insanely camera shy if I'm not allowed to 'act' or depersonalise my presence in one way or another.

just go to a photo booth? passport styley.

Who took the picture?

Forgot to answer this, it was actually achieved using a box, a stack of textbooks, a bottle of empty mouthwash and some empty loo roll to hold in the phone whilst on a timer. Whilst I'm in no way proud of that picture, I do take a little bit of self pride for being somewhat inventive when it comes to setting up ways of taking self portraits.

I actually had to do this the other day whilst renewing my passport. Every picture I took was of me blinking and as you only get three tries I ended up losing a fiver on the fucking thing. Since then I've had to pass on all the successful photos I've taken on there for other reasons and vowed never to use one of those booths again for as long as I can.

OK, I've gotten both together. Nothing fancy, just a brief summary of previous work and influences. As much as I'd preferred to think of something more imaginative or come up with some sort of elaborate hoax, I'd need more time to do something much more worthwhile that isn't some half baked idea such as taking a picture of yourself taking a shit. I appreciate the help and would share it here, but I'd rather just hand this thing in and completely forget about it, otherwise I'll end up overthinking this thing far too much more than I am already. So thanks again people, I'm going to lock the thread now and pretend this never happened.
