Kayleigh Emberley
"...once I feel myself observed by the lens everything changes; I constitute myself in the process of posing, I instantaneously make another body for myself, I transform myself in advance into an image," (Roland Barthes, 'Camera Lucida Part 5'). Typically people perform when in front of the camera, both consciously and subconsciously. We often feel exposed and put on a front, attempting to hide certain characteristics. This reveals only what we want people to see. My portraits document several people continuously, recording how their performance and reactions change over time. My aim is to capture the exact moment; that split second when the subject engages with the camera. As the sitter/photographer relationships progress my images become more successful.
