Self Image - 4th annual juried competition, Plates to Pixels Gallery

Darius Kuzmickas | Camera Obscura: Outside In(n), 15

"Self-portraits fascinate me. As a commercial portrait photographer and a fine art photography gallerist, looking at any type of fine art portrait puts me in a unique position to look through both sets of photography eyes. But self-portraiture takes both of my photography backgrounds and adds an element of awe, surprise and wonder, because I don’t think I could ever, ever make one.

Creating a self-portrait is as daunting to me as someone giving me a bolt of white lace and telling me to make a wedding dress. I know a gorgeous one when I see it, but conceptualizing my own version lies just out of reach..."
