Imprints of Identity, 2024

Photography Series

Imprints of Identity combines the crisp lighting of fashion photography with the stark studio staging of Richard Avedon. Isolated against a plain white wall with only cast shadows, the subject looks straight into the camera. There is no background story to distract from the person, and no way for the viewer to avoid their gaze.
