Selfies, Biometrics, Geolocation, and the 2021 Capital Hill Riot: How Photography Is Used in the Service of Surveillance

My chapter “Selfies, Biometrics, Geolocation, and the 2021 Capital Hill Riot: How Photography Is Used in the Service of Surveillance” was published in The Routledge Companion to Photography, Representation and Social Justice in 2023.

Stephen Chalmers Photography

The photographic work of Stephen Chalmers recognizes the ubiquitous presence of popular photography in contemporary culture. By photographing psychologically charged spaces, Chalmers draws on the viewer's familiarity and desire for such imagery, while he coolly detaches such imagery from its popular tropes. By creating new conditions in which to experience seemingly familiar subject matter, Chalmers' photos take on a discursive character, examining the nature of representation.
