saw your post about subwayhands and i agree photographers should not invade their subjects' privacy -- but do you think this applies to subwayhands where people's faces are not shown and they are not identifiable + there is no unpleasant/weird/sexual context to the photos (and the community they are shared in) ? does that make it a little better or is it just as bad? (genuine question bc i kinda like subwayhands i want to hear honest opinions/criticism about it). thank u

hello! well my opinion is entirely personal and based off of two beliefs that are fundamental to the way i think about things and live my life in general:

a person’s entire being is private whether they can be identified or not (any body part is a part of a whole and belongs to someone who has a right to complete privacy)

it is unethical to share content that features someone without their explicit, informed consent and thus a request should be made PRIOR to any action being taken

if you care about a longer explanation:

whether we can see their face and whether the intent is “chaste” is imho not the priority when it comes to taking picture of someone (or a disembodied part like their hands in this instance) and spreading it widely or to a niche audience. it is secundary because the primary action is undercover and lacks transparency. covertly taking pictures of people is a strange endeavour imo bc it hinges upon secrecy and discretion instead of being based on a transparent exchange where the instigator requests one’s permission to take a photo of them. my hand belongs to me just as much as my face and they both pertain to my image and i have an inalienable right to entire privacy should i choose to not be displayed in public or private platforms. it’s with the order of how things are done that i am taking an issue. 

to some people i might be splitting hairs but in my line of work it is key to inform people that their image is taken and to receive their consent in order to proceed with whatever it is i’m doing. their right to control their image, how it’s taken, what is being done with it, is something that is enforced by law and i’ve studied enough cases that went to court and set legal precendents to make me extremely wary of such endeavours. people might not see eye to eye with my stance on the topic but it’s a matter of ethics and ethics are often personal. i hope this is giving you some insight but you aren’t under any moral obligation to agree with me and i don’t think of myself as “morally superior” just because i think of this issue from my perspective. i simply believe that people deserve to be informed prior to having their picture taken and that any part of their body belongs entirely to them regardless of whether or not they can be identified by it. even if you are performing an intimate act (holding hands) in a public setting (the metro), having it immortalised for posterity through the action of a complete stranger that doesn’t even bother to introduce themselves and say that they’ve captured a snipped of their life and personhood is in my opinion a bit creepy. aesthetically i can see why things like “subwayhands” are pleasing and perhaps even appeasing, because you get to cast an intimate glance on something mundane. but from an ethical point of view, it makes me uncomfortable because it is anti-deontological

Sensual Slow-Motion Portraits Breathe New Life into Street Photography

  Tree: Highline Park / Portrait: 9th Ave / New York

There are only so many ways you can capture images of people on the street, but artist Jeff Hodsdon is creating his own stylized aesthetic when it comes to urban portraiture. The artist’s project, The Moments, fuses slow-motion videos captured with a customized iPhone lens with Hodsdon’s impeccable eye for finding NYC’s compelling denizens, resulting in a highly addictive daily image blog.

The artist’s short videos have an atmospheric haziness to them that provide them with an immersive, dream-like quality. This is in no small part due to Hodsdon’s unique setup for shooting, which involves an iPhone embedded with a custom-made adapter that allows the artist to attach a fully-fledged 35mm lens where the phone’s generic lens normally lies.

A software engineer by day, Hodsdon built his own custom software to condense quick shots into drawn out, slow-motion glimpses of on-the-go New Yorkers. Now in the second year of updating The Moments, Hodsdon originally started the project after feeling unsatisfied with the current state of image-making. “I was discontent with pictures of people on screens. I saw myself and others viewing a lot of photographs on screens. Yet, they were photos from cameras from an era with paper,” the artist tells The Creators Project. “It didn’t make sense to me why they couldn’t be more. I want a portrait to bring a viewer closer to the subject, for that viewer to have a greater understanding and feel closer to someone else.”

“I like to think there is a type of photograph that is in between stills and film. I find that not a lot happens in one second of time—but enough happens to give a viewer a greater feeling of connection,” Hodsdon continues. “Sometimes when people laugh, their shoulders go up a little. A still photograph won’t capture that movement. I want my work to celebrate people more honestly and tell more about them than a static image would.”
