Connections. Between the couple making a selfie together... Between the vlogger and their audience as they film their next social media post... Between the man and the hiding dog, watching each other... Between the boy and the wider world as he becomes more self aware... Self awareness. It seems to me society's constantly watchful eye scrutinizes more than ever, and that scrutiny increases our self-consciousness, manifesting a deeply innate desire to curate how we are perceived by others. This may simply be through the choice of clothes, or perhaps by using calculated angles making selfies to flatter our features, or even for some people through carefully crafted personas to gain social media influence... and no matter where, even on a remote outcrop of rock, there's still at some level a need to present oneself in a certain way and to take a director's controlling input over the visual narrative of our lives, each step a seemingly deliberate act of self expression. Shakespeare said it best... all the world's a stage. I wonder if this awareness of self makes our life connections any better? I suspect not. Anyway, it's just a thought. As always, thanks for reading. ____ I'm always keen to make new contacts and push my photography to wider horizons. If you are able to help bring my photography to a larger audience, then lets talk! I'd be glad to hear from you. Finally, most of my photographs are available as signed prints (limited) with prices typically ranging from £15 to £250. A photobook is also available priced £12.50. I can deliver worldwide.
