Together, these pictures reveal a career-long inquiry into what constitutes a portrait and how identity can be expressed, staged, disrupted, or reimagined.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCurated and accompanied by new writing by Taylor-Johnson herself, the book marks the artist’s renewed focus on photography. Published in tandem with a new series of self-portraits, it offers an expansive, deeply personal look at an artist whose innovative engagement with image-making continues to shape contemporary visual culture. | \u003cb\u003eSam Taylor-Johnson\u003c\/b\u003e (formerly Sam Taylor-Wood) is an English artist, photographer, and filmmaker.
