Charlie White photographs vulnerability.
Using a humanoid puppet he calls "complete fragility manifest in a body," White presents human frailty through a fictional character, much as a novelist might.
His puppet, called Joshua, helps him to explore the themes of male self-image and self-loathing. White places Joshua in a series of vulnerable situations -- at a cocktail party or a lover's house --and photographs the scene.
The manner in which these photographs are set portrays hesitation to break through many of the social boundaries set today. I especially love how Joshua provides a window into the aspects of psychology such as body dis-morphia which links to sexual appeal and so the content featured in many of these shots.
