Peter Shoot

This series of images is more of a documentary narrative compared to the other shoots I have created. I wanted to document the models daily activities, however keep in theme with my concept of isolation. For this series I wanted to try and keep the models face out of the images to create a suspicion around the images. Like the rest of my collection, I have photographed objects in the foreground and background to create the sense of being a fly on the wall, and allow the viewer to feel the intimacy with the model. This shoot was successful because I wanted it to represent everyday life for people who have full time jobs. I wanted to show the connection between the model and the car because this is where they spend most of their time commuting to and from work.

Shooting in black and white adds to the bleak feel to the images which fits well with my concept. My favourite images from this series are the ones in the car because of the heightened blacks, meaning you cant really tell what’s going on unless you look closely. Or the ones of the model in his room, again for the same reason. I also think that by having the door in the foreground of the images it creates a distance between the model and the viewer, increasing the feeling of isolation.
