In Sovereign, photographer Jocelyn Lee actualizes the democracy she sees between humans, nature and the animal world as she explores their cycles of fecundity. Her sensual and intimate portraits made in collaboration with mature women create fictional narratives which challenge the cultural coding of shunning the aged female body. Using natural light, a medium format camera and film, Lee skillfully composes portraits which expand notions of power, possession and passion.
In this book group, Jocelyn Lee discusses, among other things:
The camera as a philosophical tool
Consciously layering one’s subject with other priorities to inspire and expand imagination
Making visible the mythology of cultural codes
The beauty of our ‘animal bodies’
The magic of not knowing
The dance and performative nature of photography
The metaphorical power of portraiture
The excitement of exploring new methods and processes
Being in conversation with your work
