Unearned Intimacy. 2009-2011
To photograph someone is like playing a tug of war. Each player inherently needs the other for the game to exist. In photography, the subject can choose how and if they want to present themselves for the camera while the photographer decides how to frame the scene and when to release the shutter. The photograph is the product of an implicit struggle for power and control.
