Make Love to the Camera (2004 – Ongoing) is an expanding collection of diagrammatic drawings found in photographic manuals and glamour/fetish photo books depicting how to photograph the female nude. Each image depicts a diagram of a naked or semi-naked woman in a studio set-ups surrounded by lights, cameras and props. Instead of following the instructions of the diagram, I photograph the diagram itself. The work denies the erotic charge that the photographic images may have, and becomes a humorous but disturbing comment on glamour photography.

The work deconstructs the mechanics involved in image making by focusing on the exact moment a photograph is taken. The diagrams can no longer exist as functional drawings outside of their original context, blown up and displayed they become the work itself. Make Love to the Camera continues my conceptual play with the processes involved in image making from behind the camera, in front off the camera, and the camera itself.
