camera, insecurities, conversation.

I’ve taken the things people say to me whilst taking photos and isolated them against a white background, this gives it a feeling of a bold, strong statement.

I don’t feel like the photographer anymore. In the eyes of a person I photograph, I’m merely a person that’s there to reassure them they look good. Why do we need this?

The Ethics of Identity

 

 

Is it ethical to take a photo of someone and then use it like this? It’s something the Artist himself decides, ethics or no ethics, boundaries have to be pushed till there aren’t any, for creativity has none.

Modern, insecure and LADish

So, I have recently taken an interest in modern British culture, LAD culture and how it forces us back into our primitive cocoon where all we are left with is our shitty insecurities.

I have taken up a new job at a nightclub, can you guess what I have to do? Yup – photograph hundreds of drunk people.

You find people who don’t want their photo taken because they’re too cool, these are mostly lads. But, when you find one wandering alone away from the pack, they’ll be happy to. You also get the girls that demand you to take around 20 photos of the same pose before entering the process of elimination. They take this seriously, don’t fuck with them. You will also find the girls who fish for compliments afterwards – “oh my god, my hair is so flat, is it flat?????”

I’m going somewhere with this, it’s early.
