Artist Statement: ALWAYS ON CAMERA is a selection of black-and-white portraits photographed in regimented time slots of 40 minutes each. The subjects, who were asked to ‘perform’ for the camera, include artists, musicians, drag queens, eccentrics, dancers, models, designers and activists. Rather than attempting to capture the "personality" or "soul" of the sitter, Jacob is much more interested in the process of performance, its geometry and the interaction of the subject with costume and minimal props in a vacuous studio space creating unique, graphic and arresting portraiture.
