Good start, Stephanie. The release could be improved by including more exact, descriptive terms in the beginning. The first sentence should begin with the title, the is no subject in this sentence. Perfect Imperfections is a solo exhibition of work by Stephanie Slavin that features a series digital photographs exploring insecurities and challenging the viewer . . .
Are these digital photographs, are these all self-portraits . . . How would you describe the content, and the composition? Close-ups? Does the scale of the photographs reflect this idea of confrontation? You need to to include this description in the press release. Will you be asking the viewer to contribute/interact in some way? Will they be writing these down? Are you collecting these for some purpose? How will they be displayed, etc.?
I would also try to contextualize the concept a bit more. Why do you feel it is timely, urgent to ask your viewer to confront these insecurities? And what is the "more" to which you refer? You want and need to be as concrete as possible in a press release.
