Appreciate the irony: Up until the Industrial Revolution – mid-XIX century, your status played the most important part of whether or not you would ever see a portrait of yourself. Hear me?

This is the morning of my session with Sue Bryce. As a client/model. On the other side of the camera. I’m about to experience […]
