Contract of Photography

Contract of Photography is a portraiture project, which expresses narratives, emotions and experiences by talking to people, listening to their stories and then producing a constructed portrait which attempts to narrate a sense of the sitter.

Before the portrait is taken I send the sitter a contract, which they agree to. This is to gain a commitment from the subject and for them to gain an understanding of what the project is about. This is an important part of the process for this body of work, as I want there to be collaborative aspect to the project. By stripping back individuals environments and constructing a scene, I want to highlight the similarities between us all.
