‘MAESTRA’ by ARTEMISIA_G
PRIMARY - 08 NOV 2020
"I did this shoot in my bedroom, the only space of privacy that I can call my own. It was mid-morning when I started, as this is when the sunlight comes directly into my room, and my household is at its quietest. My bedroom opens up to the backyard, so in reality it isn't particularly private (the neighbours can also see in), so a breach of privacy was always playing on my mind when I was shooting myself. I felt comfortable seeing myself nude, but I wasn't comfortable with others seeing me - it really highlighted the importance of consent to me. Somewhat unexpectedly my father came out to the backyard, so I had to sneakily go about shooting myself. It was an interesting exercise in creativity! I felt great afterwards, so comfortable, confident and self-assured."
