Mia-Myline Medina_Jen Davis' Self-Portraits_Week #1: Part 2

New York based photographer, Jen Davis, has been working on self-portraiture for over a decade as she highlights the topic of body image and beauty. Her portraits in the series Eleven Years, follow her perception of her body as it changes over time. The images are not documentary style, but staged in a way that reflects reality. Throughout the years, men have been added to the series- adding a sensual aspect to the project- though the topic and style have remained consistent. I hope to reflect some aspect of reality in my journey through self-portraiture as well. Looking at the these photos has reminded me that it is important to reveal emotion and welcome intimacy as an inevitable aspect of self-photography.
