Katie Fiatarone, A Glimpse of Me (PEOPLE 2026)

This black and white self-portrait masterfully plays with the concepts of the observer and the observed, featuring a singular eye peeking from behind a camera lens. The dramatic contrast highlights every detail, from the subtle lines around the eye to the precise markings on the lens, creating a visual dialogue that blurs the line between who is watching and who is being watched. It's a thought-provoking composition that delves into self-perception and the active, dual role of the photographic gaze.
