Jennifer McClure is a self portrait artist living and working out of New York City. Her interest in photography began during her childhood, when she used photos as an anchor to places she had been and people she had known; she grew up in a military family that moved around a lot, so she used photos as proof of what had once been.
Her work is all focused on self exploration and her quest to understand what's important in life, and the images are both emotional and provocative. The struggles she deals with in her images are ones not unfamiliar to many people, and she approaches them in a manner that produces beautifully intriguing images. Her work talks about relationships, lack of relationships, isolation, substance abuse, insecure identity, among other things.
