Aaron Hobson - Cinemascapes

The pictures below are from a series of "cinemascapes" by Photographer Aaron Hobson. He is not only the photographer but the star of these works. The works are full of complex detail and as Hobson says on his website, they are very hard to do justice to when reproduced on the web ( as opposed to 4o inches long on a gallery wall)

The images are not overtly shocking (bar one or two) but they have an energy that draws in the viewer and provokes them, providing the dark and in some ways sensual undertones of the images. Hobson has an amazing eye for the detail and cinema-like panoramic quality to these works. It is also amazing that these are predominantly 'self-portraits'.

He has extended these ideas out into a new series of work entitled "femme verite". To quote Hobson directly:

"These works continue the artists personal narrative through self-portrait while bringing to the fore his female alter"

"chrissy's tub"

"pegs leg"

"answer the fucking phone"
