positioning statement

Ive come to the end of my time on this project so ill leave you with my positioning statement.

This series is a reaction to Britain’s culture of surveillance. Focusing on CCTV as one of the most overt forms of surveillance carried out on society and the parallels it draws with other photographic practices. The images are concerned with humanizing the gaze of the camera and in doing so highlighting the camera as mask for the operator. They encourage consideration of the practice, not as an infallible system of protection or control, but as one occupied by invisible individuals whose personal agendas and prejudices determine the function and effectiveness of the system.
