This body of has moved away from the original concept of the selfie and become more about the dance and immersing ones self in the photographs, the experience and the journey. 

This stemmed from the use of free lensing, Initially used to represent the distorted online persona people create. Free lensing lead me to look at how the camera was mirroring the dancer, it was as if the camera and photographer were also dancing as they moved in response to the dancer to create the best possible image. 

I feel these images say more about how a person is taken on a journey through images, how empathy is created between the photographer and dancer and therefore the viewer and their reaction and engagement with the work. 

This body of work is still an exploration of the selfie and how people present them selves on social media but that is no longer the key focus of my work. 

The use of the fee lensing is an example of how people distort who they are when creating an online presence and how they specifically focus on elements of their lives that they want to share.

The idea of the dance connotes how people get swept up using social media, they don't realise how much of them selves they have made publicly available on line and how they will be viewed. the speed and intensity of the tap dance reflects how quickly people get caught up in using social media and conform to what is normal with out stopping to question.

This body of work had become about the journey and engagement of the viewer, the work is intended to give not just a visual representation but rounded experience, one people can immerse them selves. the presentation of the work is intended to make people stop, I haven't designed it to be work you can glance at and move on. I have purposefully made it small and fast so people have to take the time to look and discover what they are viewing.
