Dead Pan: Portraits

“It Only Takes 5 Seconds”

With this series I decided to try something new. I experimented with some friends of mine, by asking them to imagine certain objects or imagine their reaction to certain objects in their head while looking at the camera.
Interestingly, there were many different yet subtle reactions that were recorded. It is amazing how the human face can subtly twitch, move, and shape itself just on how one feels or the mood without it ever being recognized, felt or noted. There is a hint of awkwardness and hurry in these photos as well that seems to come through.
Recording these expressions through a photograph stops time, and allows us to look in close detail and reflect.
The photos titles are the “descriptive” words that were used for the subjects to picture in their mind.
