The camera often acts as an eye, seeing worlds and situations that are overlooked or ignored by the human eye. This is particularly true in portraits, in which the camera records both intentional and unintentional details that reveal information about the subject. Through the lens of the camera, a photographer can capture spontaneous moments, stage portraits that appear to be candid, and provide a behind-the-scenes glimpse at how we construct our own personas. Works by Anne Collier, James Drake, David Goldblatt, Ann Hamilton, Sharon Lockhart, Nic Nicosia, and Armando Rascón use portraiture and photography as tools for revealing more than the eye can see, demonstrating the construction of personal and cultural identity..
