As part of her project "Au Coin de ma Rue" (On the corner of my street), photographer Barbara Iweins decided to penetrate the privacy of individuals she meets on the street. Are you wondering how she did it?
Barbara is on her own Web site wrote that she is surrounded by strangers all the time. When a certain person catches her attention, she can't stop wondering what's going on in the stranger's mind.
Seven years ago, she decided to embrace her unusual obsession. She got herself a 50mm lens and asked passers-by if she could take their portrait photo.
After she managed to collect 300 portraits, she decided that in 5-year period takes photos every year 30 individuals in different positions. Iweins noted that thanks to social networks and the selfie culture, people have accepted posing as a part of everyday life.
In the fourth year of the project, her work was based on comparing the faces of individuals at 7 o'clock in the morning and 7 o'clock in the evening.
She invited the project participants to her home or spent the night in their homes. All in the desire to take two photos: the first before sleep and another after sleeping. She was particularly strict about waking up at 7 o'clock in the morning, as she noticed that people quickly regain control of their bodies after waking up.
In the gallery below, you can check what is the difference between a person's face at 7 o'clock in the morning and 7 o'clock in the evening.
