Smoke & Shadows — A Selfie Mood

Okay, I had to share this one. I just took a selfie with a smoky effect and black-and-white tones… and wow, I’m honestly obsessed with how it turned out. There’s something about removing all the color that brings out a deeper kind of mood—more emotion, more mystery. It’s like the photo tells a story without needing to shout.

I’ve always loved playing with aesthetics, especially when I can mix them with how I feel inside. This smoky vibe reminded me a bit of how I start designing tattoos—simple strokes, strong contrasts, a little bit of emotion hidden in the details. It’s dramatic, yes, but in the best way.

I’m saving this one as one of my favorites. Sometimes selfies aren’t just about how you look… but about capturing a version of you that only exists in that instant.
