THE CREATIVE SELF-PORTRAIT curated by Jane Szabo.
http://www.janeszabophotography.com
There's a history of self portraiture which is changing due to the advent of the cell phone & the rise of “selfie” style image making. There is also a whole new conversation around the differences between the two. We would like you to push the boundaries of your image making and find something more challenging than the ubiquitous cell phone selfies. - Plato actually rejected the concept of creativity, preferring to see art as a form of discovery. Surrender to what has been convenient and think of new levels of art making and think beyond what you see everyday. How do you express your own identity? There are no rules other to make your image as you want it.
Note from Jane Szabo: "“The Creative Self Portrait” is the inaugural contest on LA Photo Curator. The submitted work was truly powerful, making the act of jurying the work incredibly challenging.
