It’s you we’re after,2010
Mobile media has fundamentally rewired our physical relationship with imagery. With the advent of in-camera editing and instantaneous global dissemination, the smartphone has "democratized" and compressed the photographic process into a single, accessible gesture.
It’s you we’re after is an exploration of this behavioral evolution. By documenting tourists and passersby in the epicenter of commercial light , I examine the photographic act as a performance in its own right. The series captures the physical choreography of the mobile era: the outstretched arm, the glowing face, and the fleeting pause before an image is cast into the digital void. I am interested in that specific, tethered secondary reality where the world is filtered through a handheld device before it is ever truly seen.
