The Voice Actor

For this week's Get pushed challenge Mary Siegle @mcsiegle asked me to make a portrait — either candid or formal, self-portrait or of someone else.

@mcsiegle
If there is one photographic portrait better known than any other it probably is 'The Photojournalist' by Andreas Feininger, the masterpiece in a substantial group of extreme close-ups showing professionals at work and in sport. He did not intend to make pictures of recognisable individuals. Instead he showed how the external appearence of a person can become dehumanised when it is visually merged with the tools of their trade. Dramatised and abstracted into an image of an occupation, such subjects may then look like creatures from another world - fantastic, monstrous, and grotesque - as Feininger himself conceded.
Hence my self-portrait as 'The Voice Actor'. Thank you for your challenge, Mary.
