TERRY W. SELF HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN PHOTOGRAPHY SINCE THE 1960'S. DURING THE TIME TO THE PRESENT, HE HAS EXHIBITED PHOTOGRAPHS AT THE ART GALLERY OF WINDSOR (ONTARIO) AND AT GALLERIES IN THE WINDSOR/DETROIT (MICHIGAN, USA) AREA; TAUGHT PHOTOGRAPHY IN ADULT EDUCATION PROGRAMS AND THROUGH VARIOUS WORKSHOPS; HAS DONE COMMERCIAL STOCK WORK REPRESENTED BY STOCK AGENCIES IN TORONTO; HAS WRITTEN ARTICLES ABOUT PHOTOGRAPHIC PROCESSES AND TRAVEL ARTICLES FOR MAGAZINES; HAS PHOTOGRAPHED MALE MODELS FOR FASHION PORTFOLIOS AND BODYBUILDERS IN COMPETITION AS WELL IN PRE-CONTEST SHOOTS.
PRESENTLY, HE IS CONCENTRATING ON FINE ART B&W PHOTOGRAPHY, PRODUCING PHOTOGRAPHS IN LIMITED EDITIONS PROCESSED TO ARCHIVAL STANDARDS. ALL PHOTOGRAPHS ARE EXPOSED ON NEGATIVE FILM, DEVELOPED IN HIS DARKROOM AND THEN PRINTED ON FIBRE BASED PAPER (UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED). HE SIGNS EACH PHOTOGRAPH ON THE FRONT AND REVERSE IN PENCIL, ADDING TITLE, LOCATION, YEAR EXPOSED, YEAR PRINTED, AND THE NUMBER OF THE PRINT AND THE NUMBER OF PRINTS IN THE EDITION. DRY MOUNTING OF THE PRINTS ON ACID FREE MUSEUM MOUNT BOARD IS AVAILABLE WITH THE INFORMATION STAMPED AND SIGNED ON THE REVERSE.
THE SUBJECTS OF INTEREST TO HIM ARE THOSE FOUND IN THE LANDSCAPE, RATHER THAN THE ENTIRE LANDSCAPE AND IN THE GARDENS HE GROWS OR VISITS. HE PHOTOGRAPHED BODYBUILDERS FOR SEVERAL YEARS IN COMPETITION, MAINLY AT THE REDFORD THEATRE IN REDFORD, MICHIGAN. NOW HE PREFERS TO CREATE MORE ARTISTIC PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE MALE BODY THROUGH PRIVATE POSING SESSIONS AND WITH BLACK MALES HE MEETS WHILE TRAVELING IN THE CARIBBEAN. HE ALSO ENJOYS PHOTOGRAPHING CLASSIC VEHICLES AND TRAVELING TO NEW LOCATIONS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE CANADA.
