Geoff Treagus, Dare I Look? (PEOPLE 2023)

A layered portrait, with a range of meanings. Originally I wanted to produce a photograph reminiscent of the work of artist Francine Van Hove, as she often depicts mirrors in her paintings, typically of portraits and nudes. However, as the model moved her hands, I realised that there was a narrative here to explore. In this case, there's the theme of fear and bravery, contrasted with the feelings gained from a soft towel and a hot shower.
