This body of work is about the in-between state; Marcel Duchamp says, “In the creative act the artist goes from intention to realisation through a chain of totally subjective reactions”. As I was taking photographs of the female subject posing, my unconscious took over and photographed the model before she was ready, as though she was asking for direction, an in-between state. My intention was to show how advertisements present women un-seriously.
However, when looking at my set of photographs I realised that in-between her posing, these were the images that were most intriguing. This is a contemporary piece of work which draws from photographers such as Torbjorn Rodland and Corinne Day. It explores the use of the camera as a form of truth in depicting the model’s true self. The viewers can see that the in-between state photographs are true moments which have been captured when placed next to the posed photographs.
I positioned the more exaggerated poses next to the in-between photographs to show the difference between intention and realisation, the female subject’s falseness and her true self. I edited the exaggerated photographs in black and white to demonstrate how we read images differently when presented to us in monochrome. I also made them black and white to demonstrate the difference in the exaggerated poses and then to her looking for direction and becoming tired from posing for too long. It exaggerates the different emotions and shows they are separate. This work is about not only how photographers don’t always get what we intend when taking photographs but also explores identity and the truth.
