“My name is Sarah Allegra. I am a conceptual, fine art photographer and self-portrait artist in Los Angeles.
I take photos to tell stories, to show raw emotions, and to move my audience. I am heavily inspired by fairy tales, myths, legends, the Pre Raphaelites, current music and books I read.
I love to portray strong female characters who take matters into their own hands; who do not wait to be rescued. But above all, I love to bring realistic characters characters to life.”
“Aerials, in the sky, When you lose small mind, You free your life.
I am often inspired by music, and the song Aerials by System Of A Down inspired this photo.”
“This self portrait was inspired by the Wax Mannequin song Dustboy’s New Machine.”
“This photo is beginning a new series for me, one based on my struggles with having chronic fatigue. It’s largely not well understood, by both the medical community and the population at large.”
“This photo gets its inspiration from Tennyson’s epic poen The Lady Of Shalott. I took this in my bathtub which I filled partially with milk and dumped in a ton of ribbons and roses from the garden.”
“I recently discovered Emilie Autumn who I sort of wish I could be when I grow up. She wrote a wonderful, dark, dramatic song called Opheliac. The chorus has an intense screaming, fit-throwing quality to it, which I wanted to try and capture in this self portrait.”
