Selfies: a celebration of a modern-day obsession

Nearly 500 female and female identifying photographers responded to the open call for this exhibit at the Royal Photographic Society.

Selfies as an obsession these days is certainly an understatement. As a photographer I rarely took a self portrait and still rarely take a selfie unless texting friends a picture of my new haircut.

Some of the 50 self-portraits in this exhibit are pretty straight forward some have been manipulated and are more complex. I find nearly all of them interesting. A link to the complete 50 follows my favorites, I posted here.



Do I Sit Well
Dee Robinson
Robinson won second prize for Best Black and White - Peoples' Choice. So simple but so elegant.


Garden Lockdown Selfie
Wendy G. Davies
I love taking photos that are reflections. This selfie in a wine glass is so clever. Going to have to think about how she took it from such a distance without with camera showing. 


Pandemic Ghost
Nina Stangle


Self, 2022
Julie Derbyshire
I often cut up my paintings and re-arrange them as a collage. On my To Do list, cut up a portrait.


Torn Apart
Helena Jones
At first I thought this torn self portrait was framed. Then when I looked closer I saw that it was a selfie screenshot taken on her computer.
