Surveil Yourself

A Brooklyn-based photographer named Izaz Rony is offering a new kind of portrait service: You tell him where you’re going to be on a particular day, and what you’ll be wearing, and he shows up in the general vicinity and snaps your picture, without you knowing exactly where he is or when he’ll be there. “Using information provided earlier about their weekly routine, the photographer will arrive on the scene, and unseen, take shots of the subject,” he writes on his site, MethodIzaz. “The subject will be photographed walking through the streets, going about their daily business. Without posing and artifice, the camera captures only the natural beauty of the person.”

It’s like a made-to-order version of Sophie Calle’s piece, The Shadow. http://www.medienkunstnetz.de/works/the-shadow/
