16th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Altered Images
Tropical wood

By combining documentation of an intimate moment and surrealist elements, and by recovering the model's body, I want to play with the fictional aspect of documentary photography and memory. By making the character unrecognizable and anonymous, I want to question and play with the universality of intimacy and sexuality. I also want to invoke the notion of gaze, by depicting men (here, a partner), through a subjective and erotic point of view.
