Pillow Talk is a series of photographs that surveys veiled privacy
while bringing it to the public sphere. As a newly married couple we
find it natural and most interesting to explore other relationships
provoking a sense of familiarity and desire for human connection.
This visual dialogue examines the private realms of personal
interactions, intimacy, and shared spaces.
These portraits are narratives of real partners from both serious and
casual affairs. They are set within the confines of their bedrooms
further alluding to the complacency of domestic interactions.
Biography
Our curiosity of people drives us to create portraits as a collective
glimpse of where we live. During moments of passing and obligation do we find inspiration in our subjects. These images are an extension of the only time we manage to share together, working different schedules
while fulfilling our desire to create work as our own routine. They are portraits of strangers, co-workers, passerby and friends. As an
ephemeral survey of our daily encounters, we hope to stir the same familiarity and curiosity for one another and influence similar moments of friendship.
We are a married photo collective who work together. When it comes to our process and the question of authorship's, we find that shooting in
tandem further enhances both our artistic and creative outlets while helping us engage more with our sitters. Every shoot without fail a sitter is drawn and more comfortable with one of us, and we use that
as best as we can to capture what we see as well as put the model at
ease and more comfortable with our presence. The sitters generally have never had a formal portrait taken and pretty sure never had two cameras pointing at them at one time. It's more than a rewarding pleasure to work with your partner.
