Photography - Self portrait artists

Mariell Amelie

Mariell Amelie is a self portraiture that was brought up in a small island in Northan Norway  , where she started her photography but then moved to London to peruse a career in London. Marielle does self portrait photography and fashion. Her work is shown in exhibitions around Norway and her work is also shown in many magazines. Some of her work has been done for commercial use and she does a lot of post production work on her images, to make them better quality.
Her photography of self portrait has a very creepy feel to it as she always looks very serious in her photo’s , like she a manikin. Most of her photos are set in old Retro places or old fashioned places. I like the way that in her photo’s that everything is bright/white coloured as it gives it a clean feel to it. In her photos she shows her feeling in the places that she is in and the actions she is doing. All her images have names For example one is called “Escape” This shows her in room by herself with nothing around her.















Cristina Nunez

Cristina Nunez is a self portrait photographer. She has done this since 1988. She was born in 1962 in Spain where she taught herself about portrait photography. Her photography has been in many magazine around the world including Prestigious magazine. She had also produced a book on her photography called “Body and Soul.”
She started Self portrait photo’s after a five year heroin addiction as she need to express her differcult emotions. She says that from doing this it made her explore her identity and relationships.Cristina has also won many awards for her photo’s in New York and around Europe.
Her photography shows the way that she’s feeling sand the good and bad times in her life. In her work you can tell that she doesn’t care about hpw she looks compared to Marielle Ameile. This makes it feel more real that its a self portrait as not a lot of effort has gone it.
