To Be Desired
For this series, I created a potentially loaded situation to see if,
through the camera, other forms of intimacy and revelations might occur.
I invited strangers who made an impression on me to pose in my apartment.
The backdrop for the shoot was a work of art, paintings.
It changed the dynamic between photographer and subject in ways that show how far a stranger will go to feel wanted.
Posing half-naked in front of a naked painting in a stranger's apartment.
But you can see in these portraits,
I gained what I desired and more than I ever expected.
