Self-Portraits by Women is a project The Luupe started to honor and celebrate women. It’s a collection of wonderful self-portraits, but also some incredible stories that follow them.
Before we go any further, let me remind you of the differences between selfies and self-portraits. In this project, The Luupe has curated a collection of self-portraits taken by women from all over the world. All of them showcase the many ways we represent ourselves, celebrate our bodies, perspectives, our joys and vulnerabilities, our youth, our aging, and visibility.
Even when it’s not Women’s History Month, The Luupe is dedicated to women. It’s a one-stop production marketplace that helps women photographers and diverse creators all over the world generate income by connecting them to brands for work. “More women than ever before are shaping narratives on their own terms,” The Luupe explains. Self-Portraits by Women is a powerful collection, showing the differences, but also similarities between us. I believe there are several ways in which taking self-portraits is good for you. And reading these women’s stories, I can see that we agree on many of them. Enjoy the selection of photos below, and The Luupe will unveil all of them on their Instagram over the course of this month. But if you’re really impatient, you can check out the entire gallery of over 100 photos here.
