Fortuna
Intimation
Daniel Hill
The essence of self-portrait photography is performative – a form of art that captures moments during a performance by the photographer themselves. As both the exhibitionist (model) and voyeur (photographer), the performer must ask themselves: are they reflective, examining themselves as the world sees them; or expressive, showing the world how they see themselves or wish to be seen. In this collection of self-portraits, I perform for my camera intimations of myself: how I see myself, how I wish the world sees me, and (sometimes) a reflection of how the world might see me. Through this, I explore my gender expression, sexuality, emotions, and anxiety – sometimes overtly, sometimes more subtly. Always present is the relationship between my body and societal conceptions of masculinity, femininity, queerness and beauty.
