Lee Friedlander’s Self Portrait places him in everyday urban and domestic scenes, with his shadow, reflection, or silhouette subtly integrated into each frame. An early look at Friedlander’s exploration of self-representation within the American landscape.

'These self portraits span a period of six years and were not done as a specific preoccupation, but rather, they happened as a peripheral extension of my work. They began as straight portraits but soon I was finding myself at times in the landscape of my photography. I might call myself an intruder. At any rate, they came about slowly and not with plan but more as another discovery each time'. - Lee Friedlander
