Coronavirus: Your pictures on the theme of 'self-portrait'

We asked our readers to send in their pictures on the theme of "self-portrait" during lockdown amid the coronavirus pandemic. Here are some of the pictures sent to us from around the world.

Frank Samet made his self-portrait in the form of a jigsaw.

Jennifer Wright: "I'm a third-year student at Camberwell College of Arts and this is a painting of me enjoying some self-care during lockdown. It belongs to a series of self-portraits created as part of my online degree show."

Lauren Foley: "Found this little scamp abandoned during lockdown. She now thinks she's a parrot and loves to sit on my shoulder at every opportunity."

Andrew D Jackson: "Walking in Nice, my wife and I discovered a wall painting that very much resembled me. Looking at this image today, we see a photograph of me looking at a painting of 'myself' - a sort of self-portrait of a self-portrait."

Tika jabanadhvili: "I wanted to convey my feelings and attitude towards art in general. It is titled self-portrait or Autoportrait as it is by the artist and of the artist. Like the flowers in this photograph, art is a part of me. It comes at the forefront of everything, just like the flowers which come before me."

Richard Hughes: "Virtually every day in lockdown I picked up my camera and got some fresh air in the sounding fields in Woburn Sands. It proved a great way for me to relax, stay sane and learn a new skill."

Amy Brocklehurst: "When the kids get hold of your phone and they do their own self-portrait."

Hannah Morris: "Self portrait - spending my birthday in lockdown, celebrating at home with family."

Ian Maxwell: "This was week seven of my series I call Selfie Isolation. It started off on my 50th Birthday when I set up my own party, having had to cancel it. It has since turned into a weekly event to give my friends and colleagues a smile.

Lilith Smith: "My sisters and friends have been doing weekly quarantine challenges, and this week it was to take a self-portrait. I used kitchen equipment in mine. This one uses a crystal cake plate, and my camera was set up on a tripod with a self-timer."

Karl Delahaye: "A couple of years ago I carried out a 365 project which contained many self-portraits. This was one of the less conventional."

Soo Kim: "Self-portrait of myself struggling with insomnia."

Marilyn Long: "I used Adobe Photoshop Elements to combine three images (two of myself taken today, and one I took in Canterbury a few years ago).

Rachael Blakey called this shot Virtual Social Distancing: "This photo tells a story that, due to the Covid-19 lockdown, many people are turning to technology to keep in contact with friends, family and the outside world."

And finally Woody the Lab sent in this picture: "I'd love to be featured as part of the your pics feature! Caught myself in a good light while basking in the sun last week and figured it was the perfect time to embark on an artistic career - starting with a self-portrait, of course."

The next theme is "walking" and the deadline for entries is 23 June 2020.
