Luca Cristiano's Self Portraits collection turns the lens inward, exploring the photographer's own presence within the urban landscape and the manipulative possibilities of instant film. Cristiano captures raw, unfiltered self-representations that blend vulnerability with experimental intervention in the chemical process. This series delves into themes of identity and authenticity amid artifice, challenging viewers to confront the immediacy of the self as both subject and creator. By presenting these intimate portraits as physical prints, Cristiano reinforces his philosophy of contemplative engagement, inviting a deeper scan of the human form and its interactions with the medium, far removed from the fleeting consumption of digital screens.
