Intimacy by Namiko Kitaura
A collaboration with Japanese photographer, Namiko Kitaura on her book, Intimacy.
Emotions can get intense within small insular communities. With daily interactions, you experience subtle looks and little gestures pregnant with connotations that you spend too much time trying to decipher. You discover feelings you never imagined existed within yourself, a wealth of hidden emotions and romantic fantasies. This project aims to capture from a female point of view, the various unconventional forms of beauty in male individuals. Idiosyncratic aspects of a boy's features have been emphasized and communicated photographically. The meaning behind a look is multi-faceted and can be transmuted. An odd look can become charming; a lustful look can become affectionate. This collection of pictures physically manifests the unpredictable states of emotion and desires, capturing intimate details of every individual.
