Shooting Strangers in Orchard Road. When I’m out on the streets, I often encounter faces that make me look twice; faces that stand out in the crowd without trying; faces that are out of the ordinary.

Shooting Strangers in Orchard Road

They range from the exquisitely beautiful to the strangely wonderful. I started to approach these strangers for permission to take a photo of them. Some said no, but most said yes. After taking their portrait, I’d say ‘thank you’ and walk on along. I didn’t ask for their names, or where they came from, or what they do, because I wanted the viewers to see them how I saw them: as beautiful strangers. Read more about the project here.

In the Playroom is a metaphor for the impossibility of a protective space safe from the reach of modern media. The quizzical disposition of youth and the pervasive nature of the media are symbolically represented in images through tableau-vivant re-enactments of the very current events that adults might wish to keep out of their child’s world. The photographs in this new series are visual echoes of iconic media imagery that has had an immeasurable effect on our culture. The images are deliberately staged constructions full of arresting detail designed to underscore the infiltration of modern media into the corners of the everyday. With children cast as the central players, Jonathan Hobin hopes to prompt viewers to think about the first time they heard about or saw the aftermath of current events and to imagine how a child with limited context and experience might perceive the same event.
