You’ve been on the hunt. Peering through that waist-level finder, you’re constantly on the prowl for the the most impossible subjects in the most impossible of situations. You’re so selfless in your dedication to documenting the world moving hysterically around you that you occasionally leave out one key player: YOURSELF! After all, you – and your lovely face - have a pretty big role in this Lomographic project as well. As luck would have it, the Lubitel+ is nothing short of a primo self-portrait magic box. Sure, it’s wonderful to just hold the camera at arms’ length and shoot your smiling face. But we’ve got some helpful tools, insightful tips, and inspirational photos to take things far beyond the basics. |

In order for your Lubitel+ to best capture those fleeting glimpses of your own face, head, hands, or feet, you’ll need a few handy accessories. Luckily enough, we’ve got you covered: Extra-Long (10m!) Cable Release Tripod Stability Pack |

| It’s sad but true: the one person that most Lomographers often neglect to shoot is themselves. Here are four tips to get you started. Remember, these are just the very tip of the iceberg. Like all things Lomographic, you’re sure to ferret out all kinds of new techniques and off-kilter random insights once you get going. Just be sure to tell the rest of us about them! | |
| Mirrors are Your Friend Here is the equivalent of dipping your toes into the freezing water of the unknown. Many self-portraits newbies had their start by catching their reflection in a nearby mirror. Hunt out different shapes (round, square, convex, funhouse) and qualities (clean, streaky, dirty as hell) of mirrors to vary the effect. Try not to always cover your face with the camera – so we can sometimes see those pretty eyes! |

| It Ain’t Just Faces Self-portraits of hands, arms, feet, legs, chests, butts, and other unmentionables count as well. Give your other body parts a chance to shine every now and then. The “look where my feet are standing” theme is an especially popular one. |

| These three newest Lubitel Lovers are sheer experts in the delicate art of turning the lens on themselves. Allow us to introduce them and tell their charming tales: | |

| After seeing a weird looking camera (the Supersampler) back in 2000, Scootiepye immediately fell in love. And once in love it's easy to lose this joyous feeling. Nine years down the road she is one of the most talented members of the Lomographic community, and still in love with the Lubitel+. | |

| "The sixth Golden Rule of Lomography - “Don’t think”, does not apply to the Lubitel+, you need to become a philosopher to use this camera", according to Monika. As long as you first think about the settings, you can then get creative. “Just go out and play!” | |

| Vicuna, or Stéphane Heinz as he is also known as, recognises that people are not always that keen on posing for your photographic encounters. "With the Lubitel+ it’s different" he says, "as by looking down into the viewfinder instead of establishing eye contact through your viewfinder your subjects become more relaxed". | |
