DaniellePozsonyi: Public Voyeurs

Public Voyeurs is a series that I had done during the summer in which I took photos of unsuspecting beach-goers with a zoom lens. This series was something different for me because I normally shoot posed subjects. Not to mention the fact that I also felt like a creep..but hey, that's what voyeurism in photography is all about right? For me it was not only about creating the art but also about the experience of taking photo in which the subject has no idea that it is being taken. It calls into question the type of society we live and and how that effects such things as privacy and the amount of that we are willing to offer of ourselves to strangers. In this case, I feel like the response from these people may be a bit uncomfortable had they known I was taking their photo without permission.
