This portrait, titled An Intimate Gaze, explores eye contact and humanity through angles and color. The photo was taken during an editorial magazine-inspired senior photoshoot. It provokes unique emotions and interpretations depending on the viewer, as the subject stares at them intensely. The subject’s white shirt and clean makeup amidst the industrial setting make her intense glare more impactful. It speaks to me as a picture of varying interests. It can be looked at as a picture depicting desire or depicting something with a more deep meaning such as a visual comment on women’s rights. To me, it is a portrayal of longing. Longing for support, attention, and meaning.
