I shot Helen in the studio last week. It was our third shoot together. By the time she entered the studio last week, I felt like I knew her – as I had spent a lot of time in the studio editing her. Below Helen writes about her experience of being infront of the camera, asked to express different emotional states.
Helen :
This intimate relationship with a camera lens was a new experience for me and I found its scrutiny a great challenge. I learned that while it becomes possible to represent a range of emotions, the sudden and immediate proximity of some, particularly sadness and fear, was potent and very real.
