self portraiture is real art.
Use it to grow. Use it to heal. Use it to tell YOUR story.
“My work has been about making a record of my life that no one can revise. I photograph myself in times of trouble or change in order to find the ground to stand on in the change…taking self-portraits becomes a way of hanging on to yourself.”

Selfie vs. self portrait ?
what’s the difference
+ what are we shooting for here?
A selfie is often a spontaneous image taken with a mobile device, while a self portrait is a bit more planned out and intentional — Both feature the same individual taking the photo.
Here, it doesn't matter too much which version you prefer to use to photograph yourself, as long as YOU took the photo.
