Mamiya 645.

Kodak Portra 400.

Shot in Newport, South Wales, August 2017.

Pippa's Diana Camera was produced by Nikita, who turned out to be the daughter of a dear childhood friend of mine.

Even though I hate the term, I have always been a fan of the "floortrait" style of photography. Sometimes I would ask the model if she would swap places with me, so that I could perhaps see through her eyes. In the process, by asking, I also hope to reduce any element of subterfuge which may creep into female portraiture. Therefore, if the male photographer is seen as the dominant figure in these styles of photography, I hope that I have reversed the roles here, albeit temporarily.

I especially want to thank Zoe Rebecca John at Express Imaging for conceiving the idea and encouraging me to create this triptych.
