4PG008 - Amanda Dandeneau

Amanda Dandeneau’s hand and lens gesture towards the females in her life. They reach out to the dog that has just been spayed (a requisite for good social standing in the human world of dog ownership). They reach out to her mother, hosting a party for her friends to enjoy sexuality in a comfortable and reflective atmosphere. This photographer is a foil to the detached photojournalist. Her camera undresses – in one instance, through unabashed eye contact; in the other, by exposing all the backsides hidden from a posed photo.
