Faces From The Field
This is a long term personal project photographing humans just after they come off their field of profession or interest. The goal of this project is to capture our fellow man tired, weary, dirty, proud, content, worried, stressed, or however life finds them at the end of their day. Ultimately to humanize strangers of all walks of life, professions, and financial status, stripping them of many defining societal cues to present their face detailed and intimately. Having been given momentary entrance into their personal space I work to respectfully capture their likeness as truthfully as I can, giving minimal instruction as to how to look or stand, so their expression is how they chose to be photographed in that movement, at the end of their day, by a stranger, unplanned and unexpected.
This is a slow burn project, that I will be carefully and thoughtfully picking who and where to photograph over the years/life of this series. The end goal is eventually to produce and present a book as a visual study in humanity.
