#2 Danny a Photographer in London

Photography is the ultimate voyeur - even with posed portraiture, the camera is still trying to look inside your soul. It strips people bare, takes them out of time to create a frozen time capsule that will endure, unchanging, for probably longer than the lifetime of the subject.

As such, the job of a photographer strips away the ephemera surrounding a person and so the nude window project is, to me, a metaphor of the profession. Everything unnecessary to my line of work has been stripped away, literally, to leave just me, my camera and a window of opportunity.

Which, suitably, is exactly what a photograph wants to be, an empathic window into someone else's world.
