  • Client: The Guardian
  • Year: 2007
  • Filed Under: Magazines

A project for The Guardian Weekend Magazine by Matt Willey and Giles Revell. Fourteen people were asked to create self-portraits, using a police Photofit kit from the 1970s, without referring to photographs or mirror images of themselves. They were then interviewed by Philip Oltermann on the subjects of identity and the self.
