I think I quite like Gonzalo Bénard's latest series B Shot by a Stranger because I'm interested in the difference between being alone and being lonely. I spend the majority of my time alone, even in my own house. I think that a lot of people my age do too but do not realise because whenever we are physically alone, we are always hyper-connected to everyone in the world through the internet and phones and all that stuff. If you are talking to four different people at once through the internet, but sitting by yourself in your room in silence, are you really alone? Also I didn't realise how rich an image can be, even in black and white. My tendency to soak everything I create in masses of colour, be it art or music, usually results in my being pretty bored with black and white photography in general. But these images are so full to bursting of feeling, trepidation, confusion and strange energy. I feel that colour would not do them justice somehow.
