Self Portraits On Fire is the first and only International Online Photo-Based Gallery that curates, supports, and specializes in Contemporary Fine Art Self-Portraiture. The gallery, solely curated by self-portrait photo artist, Danielle Rackowski, began on October 2, 2020 as an Instagram account supporting and featuring the work of photo-based artists working in self-portraiture. Tens of thousands of self-portrait photo-based art submissions on Instagram led the niche platform to expand into a full-fledged online photo-based gallery for self-portrait photo-based artists in late 2021.
Self Portraits On Fire strives to bring accessibility, inclusion, and visibility to all self-portrait photo-based art and artists through various curatorial opportunities. Such opportunities include online and virtual exhibitions, blog publications and featured interviews via the Artist Spotlight Blog, gallery showcases, and artist-run collaborations.
Self Portraits On Fire is dedicated to highlighting, presenting, and preserving the creativity and artistry of all self-portrait photo-based art and artists. This is a space for photo-based artists to find meaningful connections and visual inspiration. We believe in celebrating community over competition. We welcome and support a diverse range of creative and fine-art photographic styles, genres, and lens-based methods created and/or captured with the photographic medium. The gallery continues to recognize and support self-portrait photo-based art and artists through the acceptance of online submissions.
As a growing gallery and community of self-portrait photo-based artists, we are committed to exhibiting and showcasing as many self-portrait photo-based artists as possible! If you would like to participate in the online gallery, you can:
