ARTIST STATEMENT

These six pictures are products of a time when I helped my friend take corporate headshots for her new job. They came about between each perfectly arranged headshot I took for her. In the realm of corporate conformity, they beg me to disrupt the monotony of traditional headshots. These six portraits transcend the static professionalism of Linkedin imagery, capturing my friend, the subject, in various states of dynamic motion. The blurriness serves as a visual metaphor for the perpetual movement that defines our contemporary existence.

Drawing inspiration from the Situationist Internationals, I explore disruption as a catalyst for individuality. The synergy of disruption and motion becomes a driving force, challenging the rigid norms of corporate representation. In just motion and movement, the pursuit of self-expression unfolds, liberating the subject from the constraints of static identities.

The images transform into a spectacle, inviting viewers to question the hyperreality of professional presentation. Through the lens of constant motion, the portraits invite contemplation on the paradoxical nature of our hyperconnected yet isolating digital age. ‘Connect with me!’ serves as a visual rebellion against the conventional, urging individuals to break free from the confines of static self-presentation and embrace the beauty found in the chaotic dance of personal expression.
