Unbecoming is a series of self-portrait photographs using optical distortion to explore emotional and psychological states. Using a hand-built reflective chamber made from several types of reflective polyester film, I create these images entirely in camera.

I distort the portrait because a faithful likeness cannot convey the emotional and psychological states that interest me most. Instead of documenting appearance, I use distortion to create portraits that give visual form to interior worlds. I’m fascinated by the moment when a portrait begins to disintegrate and become something else. As the image shifts, familiar features become reconfigured without disappearing completely. The face remains recognizable, yet grows uncanny, resisting the clarity we usually expect from portraiture.
