Susan Bright’s book, Auto Focus: The Self-Portrait in Contemporary Photography is an excellent break down of themes of self-portraits into five categories: Autobiography, Masquerade, The Body, Studio and Album, and Performance. This book is a lot of what I’m basing my thesis on and has given me insights in analyzing work and choosing the photographers for my exhibition, which I will announce here soon! Read the attached interview to hear Bright’s explanation of the five sub-categories of self-portraiture!
this a space for my photos, ideas, and inspirations. within art i like the darker side of things, cemeteries, girls in masks, vintage erotica, apocalypterotica, blur, haze, dreaminess, lo-fi, psychedelia, introspection, emotion, nostalgia, and self-portraits.
