For this story Olya drew the inspiration from classic self-portraiture work of Vivian Maier, Ilse Bing, Diane Arbus, looking at the photographic means such as reflections, light and composition used in documenting oneself in an ordinary, yet considerate manner.

She looks at the tools and the language that defines the difference between “selfies” and “auto-portraiture” – the term previously used in reference to the photographs where the author appears themselves.

Working together with the protagonist she created these photographic renderings in a way that alters the traditional relationship between the camera, the photographer and the portrayed.
