RePose

‘RePose’ is located within my research on ‘absorption’ and ‘theatricality’. My obsession with finding a way to disarm my subjects under the probing gaze of the camera, has led directly to this project. In this series of images the subject is both present and absent. Even though the subjects are asleep, and therefore unaware of the camera’s presence, their conscious effort made in selecting the clothes they are photographed in shows that being seen by the camera, and by extension the viewer, still dictates the way they appear within the frame of the lens.
