Look around. In the gallery, at the station, on the street, in the shop, on the bus or train, in a traffic jam or queue... look around and see the portraits all around you.
How are people portraying themselves?
In any given moment, how do they look?
What impressions do they give and how do you see them?
If you know them, try to imagine you do not, and try to see them with fresh eyes: do you recognise the person you know from a brief glance?
If no one is around, find a mirror and ask the same questions about yourself.
