About
Through the study of gaze, gesture and texture, Looking Out, Looking In seeks to emphasize the physical and formal elements of a photographic portrait. The perfections and flaws of pose, skin, clothing and backdrop become central elements in these dialogues between sitter/artist and sitter/viewer. Looking Out, Looking In was shot in London in 2015 and is still ongoing.
