This is only a small series, consisting of 5 images. When photographing some of my subjects I had them 'be themselves' by way of their mannerisms. I got them to do things that we recognised as their "isms"; something I think is just as important when identifying an individual as taking note of personal appearance. The portraits are blacked out to have minimal detail in which the viewer is left to really use his or hers imagination when trying to make an identification.
