Me, My Self and the Photographic Eye

Here are some examples of how photographers and other folk have approached the idea of the self portrait.

It would be very easy to Google for 'Self Portrait' and harvest an indiscriminate collection of images, but I have selected these to demonstrate the wide range of interpretations of this subject and the fact that people from all walks of life feel compelled to go through this process of recording the Self. I make no distinction between the professional and the lay photographer in this selection.
