Portraying Multitudes 🪞

“A self-portrait is an invitation to explore, a quiet act of curiosity about who we are and how we wish to be seen. It’s a moment of choice-one where we decide which side of ourselves to offer up to the camera. As Walt Whitman so beautifully put it, “I am large, I contain multitudes.” We hold within us a vast array of identities, moods, and emotions, each clamoring for expression. Yet in the moment of capturing a self-portrait, we decide which facet to offer up, which part of our multitude to be seen and known.” - Elizabeth Flinch, SHOTS Editor
