People at work

Brief

Portraiture is often seen as a way to show someone’s true nature, or at least some aspect of it, but portraits or documentary imagery in the workplace are not necessarily as straightforward. Within that context what is being shown of the subject? On a practical level it might give insight into what their work is, and where they spend their time, but to what extent does that context also add to our cloud our understanding of the individual? We have all had that experience of working somewhere that we feel constrains us and stifles our ‘real’ personality.
