Practicing Consesual Voyeurism

I have long been drawn to what is conventionally off-limits—to the tension between looking and permission. When the COVID-19 pandemic made traditional studio work impossible in 2020, I began a new practice built around consensual voyeurism as a way to continue photographing while maintaining distance.

At predetermined times, I visited the homes of my subjects and photographed them through their windows. Lighting was discussed remotely, and the act of looking was deliberately mediated by glass, distance, and agreement. When windows were not viable, subjects were photographed from outdoors at my home, maintaining separation while preserving the structure of the process.

This body of work existed only as long as distancing was necessary. When that condition faded, so did the practice. What remains is a record of intimacy negotiated at a distance—images shaped as much by circumstance and constraint as by desire.
