Avoiding any impulse to distil my subjects according
to standard imperatives of gender and sexuality, I
worked with models whom I photographed - capturing
them at unstructured moments. The result was not a
pose; neither a sentimental moment of "vulnerability"
(though that element is present); rather, an image
of a subject who is both aware and unaware of the
presence of the spectator; who is conscious of the
performance he or she is engaged in, but not completely
in control of it. That brief moment which is the loss
of control - both on the side of the artist (who is
not structuring poses) and the subject (who is not
posing), is the focus of this series.
