The Boyfriend Casting by Rosie Harriet Ellis | Photography and Intimacy Study
The book The Boyfriend Casting is a photographic publication by Rosie Harriet Ellis examining intimacy, consent, and representation through a long-term image-based process. The project originates from the withdrawal of consent by a former partner involved in an earlier work, prompting a reassessment of authorship, subject position, and relational dynamics in photographic practice.
Developed over a five-year period, the book documents a sequence of relationships in which the artist positions her partners as subjects. The camera functions as an operational tool within both personal and creative contexts, structuring interactions and recording shifts in emotional and relational conditions. The work addresses objectification as a reversible process, where the subject of the image is defined through negotiated participation.
The publication combines photographic material with diary-like written reflections. Images are presented without formal staging, emphasizing direct observation and temporal progression. The sequence constructs a record of evolving relationships, focusing on boundaries between personal experience and image production.
