The Eye of Salem “Self-portrait, for me, is like a therapy of selfknowledge... I consider selfportrait to be a way for inner healing and acceptance.”
A
wash in a fantasy, Salem McBunny, a 25-year-old conceptual photographer from Mexico, clicks his shutter. Today he is improvising, stretching his creative muscles because nothing feels as good as creating something from nothing. “I think that many wonderful photographs arise from the small details and things that sometimes we do not think we can do but, in the end, we create wonders,” McBunny claims. While his ideas usually arise unexpectedly, other times, it is about purposely creating the concepts, looking for information, symbols, visual references or drawing sketches. No stranger to digging deeper, McBunny often develops the concepts of his photography based on the story for a character.
