You will be hunting through magazines for two words.
Find a word that describes how you feel other people perceive you.
Find a word that you feel accurately describes you.
Set your camera to Macro mode. You may need manual focus for this, depending on whether or not you can get the camera to autofocus on such a tiny subject.
Choose a background that reflects the nature of your word. If it's cheerful, consider daylight or a bright background. If it is negative, think about a darker scene. If it is a word like "creative" you might find a colorful, artistic background.
You are going to hold this word in front of you, extending your arm outward. The idea is to get very close to the word so we can still see your person's face, but it is blurry.
The camera will focus on the word, but thanks to a shallow depth of field, your blurry portrait will be in the background.
Use your Photoshop knowledge to bring as much emotion and feeling as you can to your image. For example, the bright blue colors didn't feel dark and heavy enough for the word "guilt", so I changed to black and white. I also added a vignette to make my subject feel more trapped or "boxed in".
