‘A Body Of Work‘ is a series of self-portraits, contemporary photographer Polly Penrose took over seven years. Every picture is taken on self-timer, which made her work an energy-sapping creative process. Polly herself describes it as hammering her body picture by picture into the the room.
The series is an ongoing, lifelong project, Polly says. „It will be interesting to see my body age and how the poses and locations will change with it.“ Polly Penrose studied Graphic Design at Camberwell College of Arts in London. The “Body of Work” series was exhibited at Hoxton Gallery, London in 2016. Her work was featured on Dazed Digital, The British Journal of Photography and The Huffington Post.
