I found the photographer Jason Langer in Fraction Magazine. Langer’s series Possession works to universalize the identity of individuals while humanizing inanimate, often creepy objects. Langer’s photos are often black and white, making use of the night in order to mystify the subjects of his work. The inanimate objects in Possession are given a sense of personality while he works to hide the personality of his human subjects in order to create a more universal or generic identity.
I was impressed with Langer’s use of black and white in primarily night time scenes, as I have an interest in this color choice and time frame. He creates haunting images that have a supernatural presence due to the somewhat abstracted settings hidden by the darkness. His use of mannequins and other similar human-like objects works to blur the line between animate and inanimate.
