In an age of digital manipulation the ability for photography to be dishonest or misleading is more relevant than ever. Such digital tampering prompts the viewer to be more wary of the images they see around them. Unphotogenic Observations is a series of new photos that continue Charlie Hillhouse’s minimal, observational aesthetic, and his interest in snapshotting suburbanism.
Unphotogenic Observations are photographic vignettes, little parts of the world caught off guard. Hillhouse captures subject matter not typically photographed or considered photogenic through a strict empirical, documentary style that gives each image unobscured truth and authority.
