Blind Spot

Conceptual Photography Collection

BLIND SPOT is a collection of photographs which document six common poses that prevent the subject from viewing themselves in the mirror: eyes closed, looking up, profile, turned around, yawning, and sneezing. The photographer demands trust and a surrender of ego from her subjects. There is little to no preparation or primping for each pose, creating portraits that are present and vulnerable. The images offer the possibility for the subjects to gaze upon themselves in the same manner as the rest of the world.
