I am extremely proud to be involved with the latest offering from the Female Self-Portrait Artists' Support Group includes the work of 87 members of the currently 1800+ strong group. I was part of the editorial team and was privileged to be chosen to have 5 images included in this gorgeous volume.
If you think of MySpace style over-the-head, arm's length photos when you think of female self-portraits, then you should get this book to open your eyes. Taking self-portraits is as valid an art form as any other, and this book shows that, clear as day. I'm humbled to be included among these brilliant artists.
The book is bigger and better (316 pages!) and also, this time we have
had the privilege of the direct involvement of Blurb, the online
publisher of the book. Whereas 'She Took Her Own Picture' sells at
cost-price, with 'In Her Own Image', we are now able to offer all
profit from the book straight to Madre, a charity that human rights to
advance social justice, and partner with women in communities worldwide
to meet urgent, local needs and create long-term solutions to the
problems that women face. The proceeds go straight to Madre as soon as
you click to place your order.
The book took months to put together, from organizing ourselves and contracts, and design. We are thrilled to be able to offer it to you now:

Special thanks goes to Elle Moss for coming up with this idea starting with "She Took Her Own Picture," and to Bronwen Hyde for overseeing the design and truly shepherding this book into existence.
We hope you enjoy it!
**All proceeds from the sale of this book go to our chosen charity, Madre.**
