Sarah Hobbs

Sarahs images definitely portray a sense of mood and atmosphere. All of the images are deserted and some what odd. I like the eerie sense that I get from them. I also notice that she uses multiple objects in her images - masses of one thing. 

I got these images from - http://theexposureproject.blogspot.com/2008/02/sarah-hobbs.html - and this is what they said:

''Sarah Hobbs photographs address the psychology of human behavior, specifically focusing on the phobic, obsessive and compulsive tendencies that pervade daily life. Each meticulously constructed tableaux focuses on a different psychological ailment, rendering subjects like claustrophobia, insomnia, overcompensation, perfectionism and paranoia. Hobbs' photographs enhance these neuroses by inundating otherwise sparse interiors with the byproducts of these disturbances. Ironically, her compositions possess their own claustrophobic tendencies, limiting the visual space that's explorable within each frame.''
