Nah, it's a good process and an excellent learning exercise.

Just don't make stupid tryhard pouty faces like in the photo you posted and you won't be called a narcissist.

Protip: Focus on your tripod head from where you're standing for perfect focus.

Aside from limited self esteem, I mostly avoid modelling for my own photos because I can't oversee the process (i.e. I can only see the results) and how tedious it is.

Imagine modelling for a portrait with a 300mm lens.

if you're not willing or comfortable to stand in front of the lens yourself why should people be able to feel comfortable standing in front of your lens with you behind it

>Telling us that it's you

There's your problem. Besides, why do you care what others say about you when we/they're strangers on the internet you need not earn their (our)validation for the way you look in your own photos.

Because I ask them to do so and they tell me it's ok. It's not like I choose models who totally hate being a model. Unless you're experimenting with "peoplewhofuckinghatemodeling-photography". Actually that would be pretty cool, red faces, awkward hands...

It's totally ok for voiceovers if you know what you're doing and you know how to fix its flaws.
