What does a self-portrait mean when you use a toy as a stand-in for yourself? In a sea of the same object, how can someone’s image stand out? When there are multiple versions of a toy/identity, which one do we claim as our own? Do we leave a little bit of ourselves in our photos? Sounds like an existential crisis waiting to happen, right? If you agree, then rest assured: you’re not alone!
In this episode of the Toy Photographerspodcast, Shelly Corbett welcomes back member of the Toy Photographers team Sabrina Perry (@theperrylegoadventures) for a discussion of the I am Spider-Man self-portrait challenge (#tp_iamspiderman). Over the course of 30 days, Sabrina journeyed with Spidey to create not one but multiple identities—because, after all, aren’t we all more than just one identity—and came to a profound realization: we are all Spider-Man.
We hope you’re inspired to take on the challenge and consider your own “I am Spider-Man” image. Or, perhaps you’d choose another toy to capture your true self—who/what would you choose? We’d love to hear your thoughts after listening to the episode! Leave a comment below or join our communities on MeWe,Facebook, or Instagram!
