David McKelvie posted this entertaining piece on his reluctance to be on the target end of a lens, and included a couple of self-portraits as well.
“… Puberty, however, killed any desire to be recorded for posterity…
…I think I’m too acutely aware of what is expected – and what is expected is that this image will represent me. I am more than what is contained with these edges, I think to myself. And that makes me assume a perverted image of myself. All of this happens against my will. Discomfort, both before the photograph is taken and once it is viewed, is the result.”
