12 Photos That Capture What It Means to 'Be Yourself'

For this week's Mashable Photo Challenge, we invited you to celebrate the beauty of individuality by capturing the phrase "be yourself" -- through a lens. It was all about illustrating what makes you, you -- whether it was your interests, personality, style, or hobbies. We received a ton of great submissions over the weekend, ranging from artistic portraits and self-portraits to creative collages.

Our guest curator, Kevin Truong, chose the 12 photos he thought were most interesting and original.

"I was really impressed with all the submissions," he says. "Such a wide and creative range of images to pick from, it was hard to choose my favorites!"

You can see the rest of the photos here.

If your photo wasn't selected this time around, don't fret. We'll be announcing the next photo challenge Thursday, so stay tuned. We look forward to seeing your work!
