the sinister side of black and white

by Tatheer Razana

a study into voyeurism

Tatheer surrounds her work around the idea of voyeurism and its adverse effects. She taps into the mind of someone whos having their privacy invaded and channels their frustration and helpnessness through her model, but as she is taking the photos she becomes both the watcher and the watched.

The project aims to create a sense of intimacy and intrigue, drawing the viewer into the private moments of the subject. The use of black and white photography enhances the mood of the images, giving them a timeless quality and adding a layer of mystery to the scenes.

The photographer uses light and shadow to create a sense of depth and contrast, adding to the drama of the images.

The project also explores the psychological aspect of voyeurism, where the viewer is drawn into the scene, imagining the lives of the people captured in the images. The project challenges the viewer’s perception of privacy, asking them to consider the ethics of observing the lives of others.
