A portrait often is taken to show the best of a person, highlighting features and exposing the subject as joy. However, when one takes a self portrait it becomes intensely intimate. As photographer and subject combined, all secrets are evident and nothing is left unexposed. This cryptic message may solely be seen through the eyes of the individual, thus artistic metamorphosis of the image becomes unavoidable.

Rebekah is a self-taught photographer/digital artist based in San Antonio, TX. After earning a doctorate in viral ecology, she embraced her passions for photography and art. Her love of photography has grown over a lifetime of travel thru 30 countries. Her art often captures street and daily life, architecture, and unique views. Drawing inspiration from influential women photographers like Vivian Maier and Sally Mann, she is dedicated to achieving perfection, often seen lying on the ground, crouching or contorting herself to find the ideal angle conveying her inner vision and emotional depth.
