Candid Camera

MethodIzaz

You are being watched.

No, no! We didn’t mean it in a creepy, Richard Ramirez kind of way. This is a good kind of stalking. The kind you pay for, actually.

It’s MethodIzaz, a new style of undercover portrait photography from young Brooklynite Izaz Rony.

Don’t be shy. Meet with the enthusiastic, unintimidating fellow-with-snapping-fetish, who will tailor his covert photo-taking technique to your specifications. Hand over your weekly schedule (or that of your unsuspecting subject) and go about your business as usual — working, shopping, jaywalking, etc. Rony takes your (or your unsuspecting lover’s) photos on the sly, subject unaware.

The results are candid portraits devoid of artifice. No stupid fake smiles, manufactured poses, unsightly turtle chins, or deliberate crotch shots.

Leave that kind of overexposure to the papparazzi.
