Lenscratch Self-Portrait Exhibition 2011

The gifted, generous and prolific fine art photographer, Aline Smithson has curated an on-line exhibit on her blog, Lenscratch, entitled, Self-Portrait Exhibition 2011. I am honored to be included amongst this incredible collection of images. Below are just a few I feel drawn to though there are so many more – hard to choose! The last entry here is my contribution.

Although I believe that in the end, all portraits are self-portraits, an actual portrait of self is that much more revealing thus leaving the viewer with perhaps a more direct access to the artist’s inner world. However still, that access is always suffused with the viewers’ psyche thus adding layers to the experience.

“I don’t care about my looks but I wish people will see my soul and it appears more clearly in these photographs than in others.” August Strindberg
