Rhodri Brooks is a musician and photographer from Cadriff. The above photos are from a project and an ongoing experiment. His photos explore the performance aspect of portraiture. The above pictures show adults with objects on their heads. This is to represent the transition from childhood freedom to the responsibilities of being an adult.
The sitters comfortableness shows in their faces, which, is actually perfect for the theme. It seems as though once these objects were placed on the sitters heads, they snapped back to reality and realized that they are now adults. I like this idea very much. It is an interesting way to show a persons transitions in life. There is thought of color in light in every picture. I enjoy that there is a window, or hints of a window in each picture. It makes me feel like they are so close yet so far away from where they want to be. This isn't like any other pictures I have viewed this semester. No other photographer has dared to place objects on the sitters' heads. This has inspired me to think outside of the box just a little bit more.
