Hide and Seek! A self-portrait project by Arber Sefa

“My childhood is one I remember to be rather obscure, melancholic, and dreamlike. ‘Hide and Seek’ is a playful exploration and ode to my inner child. This series of self-portraits shows different characters through which I embody visions of my past in the present moment.” *Arber Sefa

Arber Sefa is a self-taught photographer born in Kosovo and raised in Belgium where he’s currently based. He first got in contact with photography during his Acting Studies in high school at the Art Academy of Bruges. There were pictures hanging on the wall of masters in Photography such as Man Ray, Edward Steichen, etc. which strongly appealed to him.
