BEYOND THE SELFIE PROSPECTUS
The self portrait, a portrait of oneself done by oneself. Self-portraiture has exerted an irresistible appeal to photographers from the medium’s earliest years, and today it’s easier than ever to shoot one. We can all point a camera at ourselves, but to make a truly thought-provoking and magnetic self-portrait is another matter.
The SE Center is looking for dynamic self portraits, analog, digital or antique processes, photographers of all skill levels and locations are welcome.
