"You Are Photogenic": Discover Your True Self with Photo-Image in the Age of the Selfie (Color Version)

By Pina Di Cola

Now as never before in history, our need to explore the pivotal issue of how we see ourselves and understanding what we look like has become very important. This is the reason that we're witnessing the explosion of the phenomenal trend the "selfie"How do you see yourself? How do you know how you look? You probably base your answer on the reflection in the mirror, but stop and think: what appears to be your left side is actually your right side. This is an inaccurate image of what your brain actually perceives. The fact is, only other people can see you straight on in your entirety, because they have a visual vantage point. Others can see your face, body, gestures, and expressions, from which they form subjective opinions of you based on their perception and not on reality. This opinion can create major problems and confusion, as well as insecurity in who we truly are. In order to know yourself, you must be able to accurately see yourself. Your photo image is the tool through which you can see your true self. In I'm Not Photogenic , photographer Pina Di Cola offers her unique theory of the photo-image as a way to discover the real image of your visual self, and thus, gain a fuller understanding of yourself. Adding to her thirty years of experience as an internationally known celebrity photographer, Di Cola also shares insights from prominent thinkers in various scientific fields, such as neurology, psychology, and sociology and includes images and diagrams to help explain the hurdles we face on the journey to self-discovery.
