I rarely turn the camera towards myself. The confinement during the past months has made me feel more accepting of my own self. I tried to really look at myself and pay attention to my body and how I treat it every day. I notice small differences as I sit down. I try to focus on feeling more connected to my body and how I move around every day. It’s become almost like a dance. I try to create a daily sense of awareness of my body through portraiture. This is a self-portrait on day 14 of self-quarantine.
SELF-PORTRAITS: PHOTOGRAPHERS IN CONFINEMENT
Curated by Svetlana Bachevanova
A collection of self-portraits made by photojournalists from five continents during the unprecedent lockdown due to the corona virus pandemic.
Photographers are people on the road, living to document the lives of others.
Constrained by the lockdown, many of them had their first experience of being still long enough to begin seeing and understanding small details about who they are, their lifestyles and values, that were overshadowed while they were busy. These self-portraits express their experience.
This is a unique collection of self-portraits from some of the best lenses in photojournalism at an historic moment.
Photographers in Confinement is a project in process and I welcome additional submissions from photojournalists at svetlana@fotoevidence.com
I am looking for potential exhibition partners in the USA and abroad.
Svetlana Bachevanova is a founder and publisher of FotoEvidence, long time photojournalist and curator.
