Here is a series of photos I took that I call peep

All of my images are of women so that the observer can play the role of the male gaze, whether it is a peeping tom or interactive in a sexual oriented act. I try to attack specific stereotypes within every shoot; I’m forced into roll play as the photographer, giving me an imaginative sense of the first hand experience. The Women are portrayed to be submissive but their submission only lies within the spoken word, they are manipulative creatures history has forced into these roles. They are all musicians with their bodies as their instruments, some more talented and experienced then others. Lack of identity creates an ambiguity, boundaries of intimacy lie in the eyes, which is why I address my camera towards the physical. I do include eye contact but only when the subject is not vulnerable. The eyes represent confidence and control. These women are playing the role of a character in submission, but they contradict this role with powerful body language. The subjects exuberate a security with the familiar situation; they have analyzed and choreographed their gestures to give the observer a sense of control over an inferior subject. They let themselves be objectified so the viewer can feel in control.
