To finish off our month of identity in our Project 52, we ended on self portraits. Every single year I slip this theme onto the calendar. Not because I'm evil and like to torture everyone. But because I genuinely feel like it's an important exercise to force ourselves out of our comfort zones and embrace the awkwardness. Self portraits are hard. They can feel like we're exposing a vulnerable part of ourselves. And they're technically tricky. But we all survived the week, and even if not everyone would agree with the sentiment, I truly believe we're better off for it.
Instead of picking only a handful of images to share this week, we are featuring every single person who gave permission to celebrate the courage and vulnerability and challenges self portrait week involves. I hope you all get in front of the camera every once and a while, too.
