For the project my team was inspired by the work of Isabel Launches, a current portrait photographer in NYC. Her work can be found at http://www.portraitsbyisabel.com/ they have a very posed quality however without seeming contrived. The subjects are rarely looking at the camera and are often posed in their own homes. I personally picked to talk about Sarah Dobari. She incorporated personal effects into her photographs to add an air of familiarity. She conveys scenes of physiological drama, she leaves the true nature of the situation open to the viewer however. The image featured in the article showed a man and a woman lying in a bed. Her underlying theme throughout her works are of stating that life is not a fairy tale, there is anxiety and pain that riddles our lives and she aims to make those pains visible through her images.
