Independent contemporary art photography digital and print magazine

Self-Portrait — no borders. Only your mark in the frame

One rule — no creative limits. Freedom of form — from light/shadow to reflections and blur, from vivid red to muted tones, from razor-sharp to abstract. The only requirement: the author’s presence must be clearly felt in the frame. Important! Archival works will not be considered. We want to see new shots.

Photographer of the month

Casale Monferrato

I am an independent photographer, in the field since 2014. I work with self-portraiture as a language of personal narrative: for me, photography is a stream of consciousness translated into image and a breath of fresh air. Deliberate ambiguity and the partial concealment of identity help reveal how I believe others see me.

Having experienced both the life-saving and the heavy sides of psychiatric medication, as well as a period of burnout, I return to photography—lighter, with a sense of play.

My works maintain a balance between play and existential storytelling. At the same time, they are a visual chronicle of the emotional states of a person living with panic attacks and depression.

For me, photography is both art therapy and a path of self-discovery in a free flow of consciousness.
