The photographs within this series of work consists of four A3 portraits depicting subjects faces, covered with different models of camera. This work focuses on the idea of the observer, and how we as human beings are voyeurs in the way that we have a natural instincts and curiosity to observe. Combined with the curiosity to observe, the way of collecting images has changed over the years so much, it has gone from the family photo album to a photography account on either Twitter, Flickr or image sharing with family and friends on Facebook, the online family photo album.
Natural curiosity is an emotion with is related to inquisitive behaviour and exploration, investigation and learning. It is also a fuel of science and all other disciplines of human study.
Also, images of world disasters from mobile phone updates via Twitter are usually always the first to be seen by the general public.
The Images here show four subjects covering their faces with cameras as though they have been taken over by the form of there documentation, of something that we do not know, and maybe are not supposed to know; that the eye is that of a camera and how the form and way people collect images, or take photographs has changed through out time. Here we are shown 4 different cameras from an early 1968 Konica C35, a disposable camera, a lomography Fisheye camera and a Nikon D60. These time jumps between the cameras, shows how quickly with in 40 years cameras have changed so much for different uses. From small lens cameras, to disposable cameras ending now with large format, high definition and automatic cameras. Some may say that photography has become easy over time, but some can say it has become more complicated.
