![Ergy Landau, Autoportrait, Paris, 1932 [+]
What is particularly striking about this photograph is that the photographer not only quite literally puts herself on the same level as the female model but also turns her face away from the camera. Unlike her male counterparts in this traditionally male genre of photography, the nude model in this photograph is not a passive object that subjects itself to the active, determining male gaze but rather a partner who not only enters into a visual dialogue with the photographer but also takes an active and determining part in the mise en scène.— Herbert Molderings & Barbara Mülhens-Molderings, in ‘Mirrors, Masks and Spaces. Self-portraits by Women Photographers in the twenties and thirties.’, 2011
Although I agree with this statement in its generality (“active/passive” - “male/female photographer”), I am looking for significant exceptions. I am thinking for instance to the well known Self-Portrait of Josef Breitenbach with J. Greno.Any other suggestion?
