A Body of Work by Polly Penrose

Polly Penrose, a photographer based out of London, presents the on-going series ‘A Body of Work’ in which she explores her own changing body as it ages. Seven years ago, she started the project, documenting key moments in her life – from her engagement to her pregnancy to motherhood. Each image entails an intuitive response to her surroundings, and a visual representation of her trying to fit into the confines of her physical space. The physically challenging nature of her photos don’t leave much room for feelings, although over time they became a record of her mental state at that moment. More of her self-portraits below and the rest of her series here.
