I am currently undertaking a major documentary portrait project, which began in August 2009.  Biographapic will also will contain biograpihical information on the people who have been photographed along with a dateline of exactly when the picture was taken. My concerns with the work, is to show people in their spaces, as they live in it or work in it and I do not want to interfere with that personal space. It is a snapshot of peoples lives now in 2009/2010 and beyond.  I use only available light, resulting in long exposures, at least 1/4 second outside and at least 1-2 seconds inside. My sitters have to hold their position, a testament to their ability not to breathe, twitch, blink or move. The exposure times reveal something in the sitter that would not be in the 'instant' picture.
