Inside Lives - Volunteers Needed!
The past year has been very strange as we’ve faced the Coronovirus and the social distancing imposed by it. As we move into winter, social distancing will turn into isolation when there’s little daylight and the weather turns bad, forcing people to retreat into their homes and wait for better times.
With “Inside Lives” I make photographs of people in the privacy of their homes, illustrating aspects of their lives not seen by others. The photos are all taken at night from outside the house, peering through windows into the home. I hope to capture the uniqueness of people in their private lives, especially as they cope with isolation, and do it in a way that both adheres to and features social distancing. The photographs will be true to their subjects, somewhat voyeuristic, show unusual (even weird) activity, and may be moody, disturbing, or funny. I plan to exhibit these images in a gallery or other public display.
I’m recruiting volunteers to pose for these photos. It’s a fun, collaborative process where we work closely together on ideas and how to portray them. You will receive copies of the images afterwards. Social distancing precautions will be observed throughout the process.
If you’re interested, please contact me via my website “Contact” page. I can easily photograph anywhere in Oregon’s Willamette Valley and other places by special arrangement. I look forward to working with you!
These are some example photographs from this project.
