Lee Wei Swee, Photographer, Paris

Description

This conceptual portrait photograph by Paris-based photographer Lee Wei Swee presents an unusual perspective of two individuals appearing conjoined within a single large yellow t-shirt and white trousers. The shot uses a wide-angle or fish-eye lens perspective, distorting the room and creating a surreal spatial quality. The subjects have styled, spiky hair and are positioned closely together against a plain white interior wall with red ambient lighting casting a strong cast across the floor and walls. A large abstract dark red shape hangs on the wall behind them, adding to the unconventional composition. The image has a grainy texture and raw, documentary-style finish.
