L.A. PHOTO CURATOR: Call for Entry
THEME: 'The "I" - A Call for Self Portraiture'
By turning the camera onto ourselves we are able to share the most intimate examination of the human condition. Perceptions of reality are shaped by personal experiences.
At what point does inner turmoil and emotion bubble over into everyday life?
Is a self-portrait a depiction of what one feels, one’s self
concept or one’s desire to be seen? Examine the role of “I” without any
preconceived notions of what a self portrait should be.
