This Is Me

LK Ludwig




Revelation, exploration, introspection… self portraiture in a book format.  We often photograph friends and family, but typically not ourselves. To whom are we closer than ourselves?  Self portraits create a unique and important visual dialogue. Whose image do we know and understand more than the face we see in the mirror each morning?  Rather than being a daunting, being in charge of your own image can be freeing and inspire your creativity!   We’ll take a large book, and using photographic images work with them to create pages.  Images can be serious, soulful, funny, or creative. Combining the self portraits with text, favorite poetry or quotes, and inspired writings can create a treasured, but not precious autobiography, one that will inform and inspire your work for years to come.  A depth and authenticity will arrive in this work that will surprise you.  We’ll work with ink-jet water transfers, patina text onto metal mesh, use mark making and collage, guided by some exercises that will help you work, to create a book with several finished pages.
