Carmenme a la Carmen
Millyme a la Milly

Concept

In my nude photograhpy, I am addressing the exploration of the female form as art object.  Feminist postmodernist photographers such as Cindi Sherman and Judy Dater addressed this issue by acting as both object an objectifier - model and photographer - in their self portraits.  Being male, I decided to confront the issue by objectifying the female nude and then giving the model the camera to place myself behind the lens as art object. The model becomes the photographer and the photographer becomes the model.


Method

I photograph a nude model. The model then photographs me nude. The photographs are presented as prints or are used in other works of art, like my collages.
