(((imho))) photographic self portraits in the (((fine arts))) by men tend to be by gay / queer men, I guess because they are interested in exploring their psychological selfhood. e.g Robert Mapplethorpe, Andy Warhol, Paul Mpagi Sepuya. This is true of queer women photographers too (Claude Cahun, Catherine Opie). Hetero male & femay painters all make self portraits because it's how you learn to capture light shade tone colour etc
Present company itt excluded (or not, if they happen to be queer).
