Cheyenne sophia
Cheyenne Sophia, a young photographer living in Brooklyn, photographs her friends and self-portraits going so far as to reveal her privacy. These portraits in saturated colors, almost unreal, show a dreamy youth far from all taboos and current concerns, where time remains frozen. A dreamlike and poetic escape, but which tends to a form of search for identity, where everyone tries to find their place through their experiences, where it is still sometimes difficult to display their difference.
"I started taking self portraits when i was probably fifteen or sixteen but i never showed anyone and i don't think they exist anymore. I would lock myself in my room for an hour and be all weird when my mom tried to come in; i think she thought i was shooting something really shady. high school made me feel really shitty about myself; it made me feel bad about things i hadn't even explored yet. when i was seventeen i was involved with a girl. this is when i figured out that it's okay to be naked and sweaty and gross sometimes and still feel fucking awesome. i became sort of obsessed with that feeling and i guess that's when it began. suddenly vaginas weren't a big secret and everyone was showering together. i'm inspired by people – friends, lovers, whatever; we all experience the beauty and grime of intimacy but sometimes we're made to feel ashamed of it. all my photos feel pretty auto-biographical to me even if i'm not directly in them; they represent what i find beautiful and signific ant in that moment. so i guess self-portraiture is just an extension of this; i am an important part of my own life and so i want to document that too. i'm just as fascinated by myself as i am with everyone around me. i'm apart of my own intimacy.
