Self-portrait lighting candles in my bedroom during the covid-19 pandemic outbreak, over a month into home isolation. As a chronically ill person, my bedroom has always been a space of comfort - I like to create a space where I can escape the real world for a while. Shot as part of my ongoing self-portrait project “puberty”.

 
 
 

SELF-PORTRAITS: PHOTOGRAPHERS IN CONFINEMENT

Curated by Svetlana Bachevanova (USA/France)

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.
