Theme: SELF-SEARCHING: The Art of Self-Portraiture
Within the photographic genre of self-portraiture, some of the most probing, surprising, and thoughtful images have been made in the history of the medium. For "Self-Searching" we seek self-portraits that go beyond surface appearance to comment on the hopes, dreams, fears, and identities of the individuals pictured.
