Jamie Jaye Fletcher (b. 1994, Aspen, CO) is a photographer living and working in the Bay Area. Through self portraiture, collaborations and enviromental studies, she examines how identity narratives are inherited, imagined and felt. Developing long-form visual narratives through digital and analog processes, she explores the complexities of human emotion and perception. Diaristic in nature, her practice adresses the delicate relationship between love, fear, and the beliefs that shape our realities.
There is a story behind my performance as a woman, one in which I have come to understand as a universal tale: the anxiety of being seen, perceptions of myself in a sexualized world, ownership and power in the erotic. Through self-portraiture, performance, and collaborations with my mother, sister, and intimate partners, I reflect on my identity as a woman. An ongoing exploration into what I have been taught, what I have come to believe, and what I am still discovering, this series is an intimate reflection on my relationship to womanhood and sexuality.
