These portraits display a visual representation of how I perceive the world around me, visualising people as being particular colours, similar to a form of synesthesia. Each sitter is someone that I do not have a personal attachment to; the colours you see display my instinctive response as to how I read that individual before I photograph them, replicating the process that I undergo daily. This work deliberately plays with the de-familiarisation of the familiar giving the face a look of a digital avatar, like a CGI character generated by a gaming console. They embody the uncanny, or strangely familiar, creating feelings of eeriness and revulsion in observer.
