 One-Hour Portraits | Roger Sayre Photos from the “One Hour Portraits” series, 16” x 20” silver prints, 2005 |
Roger Sayre's "One Hour Portraits" bring to mind the machine-made snapshots of quick-turnaround photo shops, but his portraiture is anything but rapid. Using a pinhole camera—photography's most primitive form—the size of a phone booth, Sayre's portraits are made in full collaboration with his subjects, who meditate on their own image in a mirror mounted to the camera for 60 minutes.
