The featured work is part of Anne Collier’s ongoing Women With Cameras series, for which she sourced found objects – snapshots, magazines, postcards and movie stills dating from the 1970s into the early 2000s – from flea markets and eBay, photographed them from a distance against a neutral background and then printed her images as oversized prints.

Her image-making process, combining still-life photography with use of appropriation, questions the ways in which these images are presented and perceived. Here, we are confronted with a photograph of a photograph of a woman in the act of photographing – a Polaroid print ejecting from her camera. Through her multi-layered imagery, Collier aims to elicit ‘a sense of emotional or psychological uncertainty’ in her exploration of the power dynamics of taking pictures.
