Describe a photo of yourself that you like.
You should say:
-when it was taken
-who took it
-what you were doing in the photo
and explain why you like this photo.
One of my favourite photos of myself was taken about three years ago, during a hiking trip in a mountainous region of my home country. It was taken by a friend of mine from university, who is really into photography.
In the photo, I’m standing on the edge of a rocky cliff overlooking a stunning blue lake with snow-capped mountains in the distance. I’m wearing a windbreaker and a backpack, and I remember that exact moment because the wind was so strong, it almost knocked me off balance. I was laughing, and my friend managed to capture that natural, candid expression. The lighting was perfect too, as the sun was starting to set and filled the sky with orange and pink hues.
I love this photo because it reminds me of a moment when I felt truly alive. I felt far from the stress of my daily life. I also feel it captures who I really am: someone who enjoys exploring new places and finding beauty in the outdoors. Every time I look at it, I find a sense of peace and freedom.
For me, this photo is more than just a picture — it’s a snapshot of a memory I’ll always cherish.
