My name is Marta Valujeva. I was born in Latvia in 1985, where I found myself like photography and artist. My first introduction to photography was at Daugavpils University, where I started to learn this subject.I think that photography for me, at this moment, the better way make a life my ideas, it helps to develop my artistic personality.I present a series of self portraits. I have photographed myself in lots variations, and styles. When I was looking at all these photos, I was asking myself only one question "Is that me"? Every day that same question about "the me", about the myself of existence. The main idea is to be honest to yourself, and to have a possibility to see the diamond view of yourself, like through mirror. I still continue doing self portraits, because its a moment in time which you can return back to. The self portraits photography series is like a sort of diary, a journal of my emotional life.
