Richard Okon - Prefab Homes

In an attempt to expand my research I have been looking at the work of Richard Okon, who photographs prefabricated homes and the people that live in them. Obviously,  I am more concerned with the photographs of the people, and the way in which he represents them.







I like the way Okon photographs his subjects in their own intimate space, in a similar way to the work of Richard Ross. This set of images, however, is a little more realistic to what I am likely to achieve, as the subjects are photographed in their own homes.

Elements of Okon's work - the relaxed poses, the full portraits - inspire me, and I will take influence from it on my next shoot.
