Current mood in photographic form, based off a tutorial from @circlecirclemath - First time trying this and I'm not sure how to feel about it, so like it while you can if you like?

I put make up on for this and everything. Photoshop is hard (ignore the shocking attempt at a shadow on one of my left hands... 😂)

I have so many ideas from these with Hannah, just waiting for better weather now... saying that though, this winter has been so mild hasn't it?

Throwback to this shoot with @_gracelatter - I wish I'd shot this shoot on 35mm but you live and learn don't you? Excited to get started on some projects.

I'm still alive, but I've been so busy with work and things this week, I'm trying to find a place in my life for social media because life is too short to be staring at an app.

I have lots of photos to share but none on my phone. And to be fair, I'm more interested in tidying the flat than blowing my own trumpet today.

I love a bit of light - picked up some film today and so some of you may have ended up with some pictures. I have a fridge full of #35mm again and it feels good.

Yesterday was a Very Bad Day. Which also coincided with my 30th Birthday. It was also #timetotalk day. Today I feel slightly better, not brilliant but I don't feel like I'm about to cry or completely breakdown. The guilt I feel from feeling so rotten on my birthday is ridiculous, but here I am. Having a long standing mental health condition is hard, and sometimes feels like the end of the world, it's heartbreaking, but here I am trying, and I'm trying so hard. 
Thank you to all of those that wished me Happy Birthday yesterday, and thank you to everyone that supports me. Love x

This is only one photo of a few I took the other day, an idea given to me but @lady_snotflower. 
I have been quietly aghast at my body, by extension the photographs. I know I have spoke to a few models about how as we age our body appears to go through a second puberty. They say at puberty girls develop hips and breasts, but seeing what I know now, I think that that 'first' puberty we develop hints of a body shape that we will eventually take on, that doesn't just include hips amd breasts but arms and thighs, a stomach etc etc.
It's this 'womans' body that I struggle to wear. Which is, I am sure, influenced not necessarily by the media but by society and my own skewed body dysmorphia. I don't even know how to class my body, do I have thin privilege? Am I mid-sized? As much as I might feel fat, that isn't a label I get to wear. 
Either way, it's a learning curve and it's something that plays on my mind. (ps if you want to play with tape like this, shout me, it's... interesting)

Flashes of pink and mauve. Loved shooting in the old Eversfield Hospital, even if it was freezing - big props to @thealternativesarah for braving the cold.

Made magic with @_stephanie_white_ on Friday and shot lots of film and am excited to get it back, as always. And as always I am so thankful and humbled when people like and share the photos I take. Honestly my heart swells and I blush like crazy. I couldn't do this without you - so thank you so much.
ps - anyone else hold their sash windows open with random crap?

From Selfie To Self Expression

I was intrigued by the name of the exhibition before I even visited, we can read a lot into selfies if we wish, or we can take them at face value. There's a beautiful power in taking a photograph of ourselves that we share to the world, this is who we are and this is how we want to be perceived. We're giving you the best angle because we believe in our self worth.

Anyway. 

Many of the artworks in the show are displayed on large screens, the exhibition is sponsored by Huawei so that's not a surprise. In the first gallery the viewer is introduced to historical self portraits, from Frida Kahlo to Van Gogh, the large mobile phone screens recycling through images I remember from art history. What is clever is these large screens are hooked up to smaller, phone size screens, with the image and a heart, reminiscent of instagram, for the viewer to 'like'. It's an innovative way of showing artworks, the nod to instagram as not just a tool for a portfolio but also as a way of gaining instant feedback. We can relate this display technique to Richard Prince, too. There are layers at work here that demonstrate the direction exhibitions could be going in. It's exciting.

The ground floor of 'From Selfie To Self Expression' juxtaposes selfies we know and how artists have taken the selfie to a level of self portraiture. Kim K is reflected by Amalia Ulman. It's life into art and back again. The viewer sees images that, like Andy Worhol, have become icons of a generation that has the ability to capture the moment immediately.

Upstairs there are original works, rather than replications on screens. It's here the viewer is confronted by Gavin Turk's Pop, the wax-work figure of Turk as Sid Vicious posing as Worhol's Elvis Presley. (I feed into you, you feed into me). We see the many faces of Cindy Shreman, and in another room, new works by emerging artists tackling the idea of self portraiture in new ways, including Alma Haser and Hannah Starkey who encourages woman to take control of the gaze that is so often turned to them, and express themselves how they wish to be seen.

From Selfie To Self Expression is open until 30th May 2017 at the Saatchi Gallery, entry is free.
