Having earlier discussed the sousveillance society, wherein one is constantly recorded by one’s peers in the public sphere, I was intrigued to come across Methodizaz.
This NYC company describes itself as “a unique photography experience.” Essentially, you request Methodizaz to become your paparazzi, photographing you during your natural day, without your knowledge. You provide your general schedule and location, as well as a current photo of yourself, and they will secretly photograph you. The subject may also specify a specific mood or theme that they’d like to have captured.
They write:
MethodIzaz will provide you with a portfolio of pictures representing the fleeting moments of an authentic lifestyle. The photographs will allow you to remember these moments later in life. They will also give you a new perspective on the everyday, letting you see yourself and your surroundings through the eyes of an artist.
Using information provided earlier about their weekly routine, the photographer will arrive on the scene, and unseen, take shots of the subject. 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.
