I feel I'm anonymous in my work. When I look at the pictures, I never see myself; they aren't self-portraits. Sometimes I disappear.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
One of the things I find really hard and view as a massive drag... is that I'm losing my ability to be completely anonymous.
There is no self-portrait of me.
Everyone thinks these are self-portraits but they aren't meant to be. I just use myself as a model because I know I can push myself to extremes, make each shot as ugly or goofy or silly as possible.
I always feel kind of awkward when I look at pictures of myself. Watching videos of myself is really uncomfortable.
I still feel like no one knows who I am. I still feel anonymous.
I never really address myself to any image anybody has of me. That's like fighting with ghosts.
I don't know; I don't really look at pictures of me when I'm in public.
I live my everyday life as a person, and I react to my photos from a certain distance. When I look at a photo, I detach myself and look at it as a product - not as me, Isabella.
In my work, as a writer, I only photograph, in words, what I see.
Sometimes I think all my pictures are just pictures of me.
