Soy Quien Soy follows five Latina women redefining their image. Often times we are photographed through a white gaze which portrays a false image. It also perpetuates Eurocentric beauty standards on to POC. By allowing each model to pick out what clothes, makeup, and location they wanted to be photographed in, this gave them the power to control their image. The way these models chose to represent themselves differs from the predetermined image of them created through prejudices and stereotypes. Instead of being defined through the gaze of an outsider, the subjects hold power of their image.
