Sophie Green //

I Am Sophie Green //

‘I am Sophie Green’ is a portrait series of people who share my name. I am intrigued by the randomness of a name and whether there are other levels of connection. Despite our social, ideological and age differences we all have an inherent connection through sharing the same name. I’m curious about the lives and existence of the other Sophie Greens. I made contact through social networking sites and by online searches. I have photographed people all over England. My own self-portrait is also part of the series.

The series has an almost random, ‘as found’ feel but has in fact been a highly controlled process. I collaborated with each individual to create an emotional and enigmatic portrait.

I created the project in December 2011.
