Every day in our contacts with other, we are exposed, exposed to new ideas people, feelings and sights. Every day photographers expose film to new light and subjects. Being aware of your exposure is something that changes in every situation that a person comes across. Showing what you are or showing what you want others to see about you. The idea of showing who you are to others is something that I think about constantly. I realize that people feel and act differently when they are in an uncomfortable setting and also when they do not have any guidance to what they are supposed to be doing. I know how it is to be exposed, seeing men exposed is not something that a lot of people think about. I being a woman do not have a clue of how it feels for men. For this series of photographs I am putting together the 2 exposures, film and human reaction.

The question that I am trying to answer is this, how will a man react to a woman photographing them in a vulnerable uncomfortable situation. This series of photos are showing them exposed. Being exposed to me and my camera.
