1. Choose your space. 2. Choose your objects. Pick at least 10 objects that represent your personality, history, interests, etc. Remember to consider both internal and external qualities. Think about the iconography of these objects and have a rationale for including each one. For example, curtains might represent hiding from the world. 3. Compose your setting. Set up your objects in a rough triangle. Step away and think about what objects stand out to create a triangle. You'll pose at the top of the triangle in the center.
