Before the advent of instant #selfies, Peter Berlin created thousands of self portraits at a time when film photography required time and skills that we take for granted in the digital age. Peter spent hours preparing for each shoot – setting up the camera, creating the outfits, developing the negatives and printing the photos himself. It’s unlikely this level of self-portraiture was ever been matched in the pre-digital era of photography. See more of his work in the photo gallery below, and don’t miss your chance to meet the artist himself Saturday, October 18th, at Magnet in San Francisco.
