Owen Hilander
Portrait of Adelaide
"Originally my collection began as a way for me to document the people of Adelaide through candid photography, and to translate that into a collection of portraiture. I would do this by collecting my own references and then translating them through the medium of charcoal. The photographs would be taken on crowded streets, with my subjects unknowingly allowing silent contemplation to fester into expressions which I would then recapture. However, I found that rather than preserving a perfect recreation of my subjects, I was merely projecting myself onto an interaction they had no knowledge of, potentially misrepresenting their emotions."
