Love Letters

This work, “Love Letters” mixes my interest in vintage fashion, Victorian portrait photography and mid-century pinups. Self-portraiture gives me a way to explore how my body appears in photographs, grappling with my own self-esteem issues while allowing her full freedom to enact vulnerable poses seen in historic photographs. The black and white colouring of the photos is meant to evoke the silvery shine of Victorian daguerreotypes, the silver screen, and the mid-century magazine prints of pinup models.
