The photos of you in the shower curtain remind me of Lenny's wife in memento

how did u achieved the phone screen overlay??

5:10 - Wow, I’m genuinely surprised by how good these pictures are. I didn’t expect that. Great job! Edit: Every picture shown in the video is on point-I loved the vid and your whole channel. Note to self: I need to narrow my KZbin consumption to channels like yours that truly matter in my life, ones that offer more than just entertainment. Thank you!

Jake i have the same troubles. BUT GUESS WHAT i just took a course call “the cone of creative confidence” with Diana Varma. When she said that we all, the creators of any art, we feel totally not worth it, that we don’t see ourselves as others see us, i felt the click, that we all have the same feeling for ourselves, even the people that is gorgeous physically. Confidence has to be work out like a muscle. Being brave and show our art is part of the exercise. I love EVERYTHING YOU DO! You are a fantastic being. Thanks for your art handsome!

thanks for another amazing video ♥

These photos and your reflections on them really made me feel connected to my own distorted perception of myself. Thanks for the vulnerability.

Jake, I absolutely love this video! I relate to you so much bro. I hope you can see the amazing qualities in yourself because you truly deserve it. Keep up the great work!

Your videos will never cease to be insightful and the MET is a magical place! When I was there I think I spent around 6hrs and didn't see anywhere near all of it. Would love to go back one day. In reference to the self portraits, they're hard and it truly is crazy how you can take 100 that don't turn out for just a few that do. In your case though I would say that your entire channel is your self portrait. A different medium for sure, but it makes you feel something and is an honest reflection of you. Please never stop being you. Happiest of holidays!

So good!

make it your profile picture or else

I’m so proud of you

I know almost nothing about film and photography, but I've had ideas in my head for a long time. I love playing with light, shadows, and angles. I have so much to learn about the technical side of things, and technique. This is the second video I've watched from you, after the about RGB one. Your stuff is really inspiring, and it's a coincidence that this was the second, because self portraits are something that I've been thinking about in the past few years. I'm subbed now, and look forward to watching your future vids. Thanks

Also also... Shaffer was with you but no new podcast? hmmm RIP

Ummm also is that an ILYSM hoodie? Kind of obsessed

Love this, Jake.

You have always been one of my favorite creators. Inspired some of my work if we’re being honest. Thank You Jake!

Hey Jake, I just checked this out as your guide to filming on a low/no budget video came up in my feed. I'm just about to watch 'G' now, but I had to comment and say that I'm so bowled over by the sheer verve, scope, dedication and talent that you (and your small crew) so adeptly display on here for the world to see. This in particular is EXACTLY the sort of thing I love to watch on KZbin (think a lot of 'slow living' content, f'rinstance). You, good sir, have just earned yourself a sub. I look forward to checking out more of your content 🙂

The way you captured the essence of self-portraiture as an art form is inspiring. It's a refreshing reminder to focus on storytelling over trends!

Wasn’t prepared to get emotional at the end 🥺. Loved this journey and also really appreciated you included the reflection part that you weren’t stoked on. It’s all a part of it.

Amazing video.

So worthwhile, as always. Many thanks and Happy Christmas!

13:05 be kind to yourself. Really enjoyed this project Jake.

Really awesome video. Makes me want to try this out now too. Great work again jake

Awesome mort man, So inspiring. You should take a look at Vivian Maier’s work. She did street photography and it blew m’y mind 🤯

Fantastic video

nice work...

This was refreshing! Thank you for the inspiration

Can’t count on this dude to make meaningful art. One of those creators that can change the way I think so simply

Dude I love this!!!! You at the end talking about how you view yourself vs how you think others view you is an emotion I struggle with daily too. Watching your work inspires and frustrates me at the same time. I'm always inspired by what you do and how you come up with ideas and topics, then I get frustrated and think why didn't I think of this!!!! Too good man, keep it up!

you did get the most unexpectedly authentic laugh out of me with this one, thanks for that

Very inspired :) As always . Thank you !!!!!

Jake I am so impressed at the way you explore your human experience through art. When I think about you as a creator, I guess you have always done this, but this video in particular makes it abundantly clear. The photo you showed trying to push through the plastic with your hand in the foreground, is a masterpiece in my humble opinion. Thanks for sharing mate.

I love the Goonies!! Hey you guys !!!!

Excellent presentation, observations and insights. 📸🌞

I love this! and I relate to you so much that's why im always drawn to trying to find ways to hide my face

noooooo why did you change the thumbnail

I enjoy your videos good job Jake

Love the stash!

And here I was just thinking yesterday that I could really go for seeing a new video of yours! I love this topic because it's so much a part of my creative process--I'm 29 now and I've been taking photos of myself since I got my first digital camera when I was 10. I've always struggled with the idea of what's the point? Do I really need another photo of myself? Especially since my photos aren't artsy or edgy or conceptual like so many self portrait artists. But creating conceptual work has never felt true to me or who I am. Instead I create characters that are conceptual in their own way, I guess. I hope that they're more than selfies. And even though I don't know what the point is, I still keep taking photos. I think my favorite set of these is the reflections in the city ones!

First time viewer here, i love the artistic process you go through. It’s inspiring to see a stranger put themselves out there on the internet like that, especially since I am an introvert contemplating the same thing. Human to human, I see you.

This was amazing 🫶

3:08 can we buy this hoodie anywhere? It looks soo coool

12:38 - dude the pacing of the video leading up to this point made it hit hard. It feels so raw and relatable.

bro reached unc era.

Now this is ART

The mighty ducks movie... Seriously ?! ❤❤❤ All my childhood. ❤❤❤

Amazing and really interesting video! I think my favorite. Maybe I'll try doing my self portrait too. And, thank you for being vulnerable!

As always, so inspired by your work Jake! Thank you! Love from Barcelona!

Thanks man, I've been struggling with self portraits even though the idea has been in my mind for a long time. You put it perfectly into words: I was documenting, it was not self expression. I feel so inspired by your shots (sick shots!) -- I know what I'm doing this weekend. Thanks again. Btw, almost everybody i met struggles to see what others see in them. You're not alone.

Great video dude! Thanks for sharing
