Photography II · 2013 – 2020
The second photographic body in the archive. Produced between 2013 and 2020 under Schooneman’s own name, these portraits turn fully towards the individual. Identity occupies the centre of each frame. While retaining the formal discipline of the earlier photographs, the work becomes quieter, more attentive, and increasingly concerned with the singular presence of the sitter.
Many of the works draw on mythology, classical sculpture and the history of painting, as titles such as The Young Olympian, The King of Ithaca and After Monsieur Roulin suggest. Alongside the portraits are figure studies and male nude photography made with the same care, in which the body belongs to a particular person rather than to an ideal. Each work is available as a limited edition fine art print, hand-signed and numbered.
