This is a project that I am currently working on.
I feel that today's society is becoming increasingly obsessed with privacy laws, freedom from media and surveillance - a notion explored in the exhibition "Exposed" at the Tate - with reality T.V shows such as Louis Theroux's documentaries giving the viewer a more intimate experience to the subjects by using unscripted social interaction. With this project I aimed to confront these issues and implications through the theme of 'voyeurism'.
The title for this project is appropriated from the poem 'Porphyria's Lover' by Robert Browning; a dramatic monologue in which the speaker describes a scene where he is waiting for his lover to return. When she enters, she explains how she has momentarily overcome societal strictures to be with him. However, realising that she will eventually give in to societies pressures, and wanting to preserve this moment of her worshiping him, he slowly wraps her hair around her neck and strangles her.
This timeless quality is also evident in Craig Horsfield's 'Hernando Gomez', where the sitter's gaze extend's beyond the the picture frame into the unknown, which "disrupts the sense of time and pulls the viewer beneath the ephemeral moment into 'slow time' ". Here the past and present coexist. Similarly, I aim to create the appearance of voyeurism through the subject's despondent facial expression, allowing the viewer to observe from the voyeur's perspective. Along the bottom of this image, I have experimented with the notion that the digital world has become increasingly intrusive, referring the surveillance cameras, and that there's always someone watching you. Here I have used multiple flash photography self-portraits to produce a second faint image of the subject. I created this by using my phone light as opposed to the bright light of the first flash. The result is somewhat ominous and gives the appearance of someone looking over their shoulder. Along the top row I have explored the theme by photographing my friend in various intimate scenarios from secret vantage points.
Mechanical and industrial imagery is also featured in Justin Mortimer's work, and I am intrigued by his bright and acidic colour palette. I aimed to use a similar coloration in my above preparatory drawing, and feel it pierces through the foreground in an intrusive manner, reflecting the voyeuristic theme. In addition, I was influenced by the abstraction in his work. With this collage, I built up layers of coloured paper, and ripped through the layers to create a rough indication of the subject in their surroundings. As I corrected the drawing over this, it became disjointed against the the initial abstract shapes in the background, creating confusion and ambiguity.
For the final outcome to this project, I intend to create a series of multiple images in a variety of media, including painting, photography and prints to adhere to the obsessive nature of voyeurism.
This house is located on South Grand Street in Monroe Louisiana. I believe it is now an orphanage. If anyone knows it's history, please let me know.
This was the location where high ranking Nazi officials met to confirm plans to destroy every one of the 11 million Jews in Europe. Photos by Auschwitz Study Group contributer Hannah Wilson
This photograph was published in the Illustrated Chronicle on the 4th of May 1915.
During the Great War the Illustrated Chronicle published photographs of soldiers and sailors from Newcastle and the North East of England, which had been in the news. The photographs were sent in by relatives and give us a glimpse into the past.
The physical collection held by Newcastle Libraries comprises bound volumes of the newspaper from 1910 to 1925. We are keen to find out more about the people in the photographs. If you recognise anyone in the images or have any stories or information to add please comment below.

Went to Roscoe's House of Chicken'n Waffles, where we ate (fried) chicken and waffles. And, upon examining this photo, about a pound of butter. Funny thing is, in the moment I didn't think twice, I just spread that butter all around the waffles. Hindsight? I mighta been able to move a bit of the butter to the side. But when at Roscoe's ...
This photo of a woman's eyes fence mural is the first of a series of four at the edge of a supermarket parking lot in the Mission District of San Francisco. I shot this using my Canon Powershot SX50.
This Rohnert Park Department of Public Safety pumper is a 1989-2001 International 4000 series crewcab. This one in their old white paint is probably a reserve rig (their new fire apparatus is red). I don't know if they still have this truck or not. The white light on top of the lightbar is an old Opticom strobe used to change traffic signals from red to green during an emergency response.
This is the left rear (driver side - traditional US) riding step on the tailgate.
I was able to take a tour of this brand new truck at Waste Equipment and Parts LLC in Tampa, Florida.

This snow-scooter track, curving away into the distance was the most exciting outdoor image I managed today
Today was not a day for being outside with +6°C and a low, very grey sky out of which fell showers of rain now and again. This is far too warm for February weather in this part of the world. Despite all this we did go out for a walk and I took a few photos but images that consist of limited shades of grey (nowhere near 50) are not very interesting.
This picture did not do justice for the sharpness of this lens because I took it handheld. Too lazy to set up with tripod.
This Supermarine Spitfire LF Mk. IXe served with distinction during World War II.
Attached to the Royal Canadian Air Force's 417 Squadron, she flew bombers escort missions over Italy before ultimately ending up as derelict playground toy in Israel shortly after the war ended.
She's been restored to pristine condition and is currently owned and operated by the Military Aviation Museum in Virginia Beach, Va.
This is my final outcome from my body of work called ‘Macro Life’ in the exam ‘Past present and or future’. I have selected 12 of my favourite pictures that fit into the theme ‘macro life’ the best and edited them so that a viewfinder or magnifying glass moves across the picture, onto the focus of the picture and then zooms out to reveal the rest of the photograph. The reasons for my choices are in my sketchbook. I quoted David Attenborough in celebration of his 90th birthday and because he is famous in ‘natural world’. I used the instrumental from the song 'Army' because the beat fits well with the song and also it is a very fresh and summery tune so it fits with the life and freshness of the natural world. I blurred each transition because it makes the pictures fit more harmoniously together and with the song.
This was taken at Nash Point yesterday - I've no idea what the man was looking for but in my imagination thought it might be gold!!!
This young Eastern Cottontail has been a regular visitor to the back yard in the evenings. It also likes to hide in Mom's garden under the tomato cage. Luckily it doesn't appear to do any damage to the tomatoes, but plenty of other creatures seem to like to take bites out of the ripening fruit.
This was requested as a self-portrait. It isn’t a one-to-one equivalent of the person who commissioned me due to limitations of the sculpt.
I’m beginning to resent the way the gloss photographs but it looks really nice in person. >_< Aaaand… I think I’m going to avoid using black as my back drop.

Beautiful skies this morning! Enjoy!
This is a shell deflector made for the Steyr AUG by Corvus Defensio in Germany.
Ejected casings have a habit of dinging up the AUG's plastic stock, and this M4-style deflector is designed to prevent that.
This is part of a series of photos of boats I took in the autumn of 2017 in Venice.
This is in Cannaregio.

This was an amazing find for me! I love photobooths and photobooth pics, but I actually found this one in my own home. I was going through some stuff that my mom had given me, and behind a 50th anniversary photo of my grandparents I discovered this photobooth image of my Grandma Minnie. So cool!
I think my Grandma Minnie passed away when I was 4, but I've heard some of the most wonderful, Paul Bunyon type, tall tales about Grandma Minnie. I of course beleive them all to be true, why not. She had a green thumb and grew everything in her garden 10 times the size they normally are, and would annually tell my grandpa when to go buy hail insurance for the crops, and amazingly enough he listened, and amazingly enough it hailed as she said. She was one of the most wonderful women I've ever known. I've always wished I could have known her longer in my life. :)
This is where democracy started in Germany. Should remember this, especially in times like these, where democracy sometimes looks like such an outdated concept...
