In Their Own Image (2): Facing Up to Myself

Second of two films where women photographers turn the camera on themselves. At the age of 40, having spent most of her working life photographing other people for a living, Jo Spence began to have serious doubts about what she was doing and why. Overnight she stopped taking photographs altogether and turned instead to an exploration of her own image as seen by others—snapshots of herself from the family album.
