Facing
144 duotone images. A book of self-composed portraits; people looking at their own reflection in the mirror. Each photograph is taken from behind the subject, the camera looking over his or her shoulder towards the reflected image. The mirror allows each sitter to compose themselves for their portrait, seeing themselves exactly as they will be photographed, the camera capturing what is normally a private moment, before the mirror, putting on the face each of us presents to the world. The subjects see themselves being seen, and are seen (by the photograper and by the viewer) looking at their own image.
