Partner Project

2012-2013
For “Partner Project,” I photographed my former lovers with a 4x5” large-format view camera because I found it important to document their presence in a slow, deliberate way. I printed their faces as tightly-cropped, black and white photographs and hung them in chronological order of when we were first intimate. Of the 26 individuals I asked to photograph, 10 declined; I included those who declined as a physical gap on the wall between the photographs. In order to finish this series, I drove from Iowa to Washington state just to photograph one person.
