‘What I Be’ features U. students

Founder and photographer of the ?What I Be? project Steve Rosenfield discussed his photography and the importance of honesty to oneself at a lecture in Frist Campus Center on Wednesday afternoon. Rosenfield has photographed people from a variety of backgrounds and spent this week taking pictures of over 80 Princeton students as part of the ?What I Be? project, which he said aims to ?create security through insecurity.? The photographs feature individual students with words describing personal insecurities written on their bodies, including on their hands and faces. Former USG president Bruce Easop ?13 said before the lecture began that the project served as a conversation-starter in the days leading up to Mental Health Week. Rosenfield, who is based in Davis, Calif., said that when he began taking photographs four years ago, his goal was to produce images that were ?really dramatic and really raw.? He came to the University this week at the recommendation of Shirley Gao ?13, also from Davis, who first encountered Rosenfield?s work two years ago. ?It was very touching and striking for me to see these photos of people revealing parts of themselves,? Gao said.
