Jemima Stehli is a British photographer who did aself-portrait series in 2000. The series was called strip. Stehli got various art critics to come to her studio for a shoot. She sat the male critics down in a chair and began to strip in front of them. Stehli positioned herself to the right of the shot facing the subject with her back to the camera. She then gave the art critics the shutter release for the camera. As Stehli began to strip the art critics would squeeze the shutter release and take a photograph at any time they wanted.
This self portrait is about the man reaction to the strip that Stehli is performing. In some of the shots the man looks quite shy and awkward. However in others the man looks like the alpha male with his legs spread apart looking strait at Stehli as she strips.
