None of these photographs have been digitally contrived. Mirrors and subject matter are positioned at specific angles to capture each image as seen.

My photographic work seeks to investigate the idea that the appearance of what we see as reality is malleable and constantly shifting. Reflections allow the camera, a single point perspective tool, to see from multiple viewpoints at once, thus potentially destabilizing any sense of visual authority or any fixed sense of point of view. The presence of multiple visual channels can challenge assumptions about perspective, both journalistic and personal; it can even argue that the cameras truest marker is not image but time. By marking a specific moment, the camera allows the opportunity to take point of view itself as a vehicle for content and contemplation.
