Park Young Soon brings attention to Korean Women in her project Mad Women. In this project she identifies how women are affected by societal standards and precieved notions.
"Park creates provocative portraits that strongly emphasize femininity, which has been historically and socially suppressed and considered a taboo topic. The woman’s body is placed at the forefront of her work, raising the issues of social oppression, absurdity, and unbalanced sexual power structure against women’s body and consciousness."

Samantha Metzner uses a different type of photography to express perceptions of one's self. Using cyanotypes the photgrapher strives to shows the inner person of someone while expressing that what is on the outside isn't all that matters.
"My body of work seeks to explore the mystery of such interactions with the self and the intimate (personal) constructions of meaning which follow. By using mirrors as objects to hold my cyanotypes, I aim to make such interactions more fully realized in an embodied experience, one that brings up questions of conceptualizing about the self in all its complexity. For me, the mirror is inherently an intimate object. It is designed to bring one closer to the self by reflecting the truth, but is in fact fundamentally flawed: there are no true reflections—a mirrored image is always reversed, for example—just as there is no fixed self."

Sara J. Winston is an artist who used photography to develop self portraits of herself going through life and her struggle with a chronic illness.
"As a chronically ill person I have often looked to document the world close to me in order to visualize and contemplate the speculative and erratic nature of my illness, it’s unknown causes, and methods of biomedical intervention I have undergone to quell symptoms. In parenthood my curiosity and concern has evolved as I now wonder about matrilineal inheritance, something that is difficult to anticipate, articulate, or explain in words, or pictures, alone."
