Photographing the Self
Lily J.

This piece comes from a collection of works I did centered around the theme of identity and how it connects to self expression. Photography has been a large part of my life since the beginning of my high school career; It became a large part of how I expressed myself and put my ideas out into the world. For these reasons, this piece specifically means a lot to me as it is meant to convey how artists become a reflection of their own subjects. By putting my model on both sides of the camera I conveyed the theme of being both an artist and an artistic subject.

To me, creativity is an important outlet in my life. From a young age, I found comfort in being able to express myself through the art I made. The world of art is so diverse and I feel very grateful that I can be a part of that world.
