Kimbra takes self-portraits shot entirely on film which she develops herself at home. After working as a model for nearly a decade she was frustrated with superficial images constantly created of her and the narrow definition of beauty imposed by the fashion industry. Posing in front of the camera for so long and being told what to do, Kimbra uses her camera to rebuild her confidence and self-esteem that was stripped away from her in the modelling industry. She has suffered from depression her entire life and uses her photographs as an outlet. Self-portraits are a way for Kimbra to create raw images exactly the way she sees herself and capture what she believes is beautiful. She does not edit her images and likes the natural imperfections that occur from shooting film.
