At Home With Ashlyn - Photography as Art Documentary
Ashlyn is a student living on campus at a Melbourne university. Her room is small but she has made it home. The tiny but many personalisations make it hers. I'm just surprised it can fit her big smile :)
Welcome to my project "At Home With Me". No makeup, no retouching, no studio lighting – a personal project by Mark Fitzgerald
Shot in each subject’s own home, they are instructed to leave the house as it is. No cleaning up, no modification. No new clothes, no makeup or preparation in any way. By this method we get a snapshot of the subject as they are in the space they feel most comfortable. This can reveal quirks, habits and hobbies, and can allow an audience to gather information to begin to piece together the story of the subject’s life and personality.
One thing seems true for all subjects: there is strength and beauty in this visual honesty.

The tones in the first black and white image are just stunning. So smooth and balanced. This whole photo shoot is another great portfolio. To step away from the photographic clutches, for both yourself as photographer, and for your subject, as model, is a courageous act in this image obsessed culture. And yet it works. You both succeed in creating beautiful art work.
That might be the most beautiful assessment of my work I've ever read, thank you @naquoya :)
I studied photography for a year in the 90s, in Melbourne. I am no professional, but I have an appreciation for the skill level required to make an image that people think just happens. I focused on Black and White development and still love that part of photography.
I like your style, and the attitude behind this artistic exploration of yours.
