staring into the mirror.
historically the tintyping processs was primarily used for very formal staged portraits. i wanted to move away from that rigidity by bringing the subject almost uncomfortably close and having the camera function similarly to a mirror.
this concept in tandem with the unpredictability of tintypes plays on the idea of staring into a mirror until what you see becomes skewed in some way.
this series was featured in an exhibition at boston’s panopticon gallery in april 2023. click here to see details on the show.
