Photographer Captures People And Their Bedrooms To Show Their Different Ways Of Living 30 New Pics Interview With Artist

Pro member Publish Not your original work? Add source The bedroom is probably the most personal and intimate space where one can be the truest version of oneself. It is a place to relax from the outside world, the spot where we start and end the day. Maybe that's why it's also so intriguing to have a glimpse of other people's bedrooms. It's like getting to know their real personalities in a way. Being interested and passionate about "poetic resonance of ordinary subjects", photographer Barbara Peacock travels the USA to take intimate and anthropological pictures of average Americans in their bedrooms. These photographs are part of a project called "American Bedroom" that shows the many different living conditions and lifestyles that make up the American experience. After taking a look at these candid photographs, we invite you to check out Barbara's older photos that we previously shared here.

Doris Age 97

"My life has been dramatic! My three children are wonderful. My life couldn't be better."
Overland Park, Kansas
barbara.peacock_abedroom Report Final score: 307points POST DennyS (denzoren) DennyS (denzoren) Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago It's wonderful that she enjoyed her life, I hope a lot of us can say the same when the time comes. 101 101points reply View more comments Barbara shared with Bored Panda that the idea of photographing people in their rooms was born in 2016: "I woke up early one morning and looked out my bedroom window to look at my garden. When I turned around I saw my husband wrapped up in blankets, bathed in beautiful golden light with his snore mask on. I had to chuckle at the dichotomy of beauty and humor. Then I thought about how I would complete the scene. It was then I realized that what we have on our side tables and around the room tells a distinct and personal story." The photographer began to think about taking pictures of people in their bedrooms across the whole country. Most of Barbara's friends said that it was a very interesting concept. She started by photographing a few friends and some interesting people she met. #2

Shame. 182 182points reply View More Replies... View more comments It was not that easy to find people who would be willing to open their bedroom doors and be completely honest and vulnerable. Yet, to Barbara's surprise, there are plenty who would. "When I plan a trip to a place in the US, I make an announcement on Facebook and Instagram. Many folks will reach out and say they are willing, or they have a friend, relative or neighbor. From there the contacts grow. Also, I place ads on Craigslist and I print up cards with info about the project and my contact info. I leave these cards around during my travels. I also make it a point to go to smaller towns so I can visit local diners and small shops where everyone knows everyone." Barbara photographs everyone who wants to be in the project. That's her rule. "You just never know how it will turn out and I meet the most interesting and diverting people. Some make me laugh and others tug at my heart and soul for days." #4

Becky And Dave Ages 65

"We felt the weight of responsibility for our children for decades. Now we are on our own. Our empty nest has reawakened the joy of freedom we had as youths."

The Belfon Family

"Burning the tatter tots, cleaning up messes and getting the kids to school late is just part of life. Blending this big family is the hardest thing I have ever been a part of but the love and support has become the greatest gift and teacher, not just for me but for all of us."

barbara.peacock_abedroom Report Final score: 300points POST Mimi La Souris Mimi La Souris Community Member • points posts comments upvotes 10 months ago this photo makes me feel good, it radiates happiness 127 127points reply View more comments We got curious about how the photographer manages to make people feel comfortable in front of her camera and expose their personal and intimate lives. Barbara shared that she chats with her subjects for a bit before they start. "I'm friendly and not very intimidating so it's usually easy to build a rapport. I make sure they know it is collaboration and it is their portrait as much as it is mine. I never make anyone do anything they don't want. If my subjects are naked it is because they want to be. For many people, it is a high point in their life to show, in the most honest way possible, who they are. To take off any artifice and reveal their true nature is truly fascinating and often people just come alive." #6

Dale Age 48

"I never wanted to be a girl, I just wanted to be a cowboy with red lipstick. Now, far away from Texas and all the religious repression of my youth, I feel powerful and finally free."

"It is in my life-threatening health that I have come into myself. I have already done more living than I ever imagined, way more than I was ever promised. The days when I feel the most pain can easily be filled with laughter and joy because my pleasures have been earned."
barbara.peacock_abedroom Report Final score: 275points POST Colin L Colin L Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago Lovely room, and amazing sentiment! 66 66points reply View more comments The photographer told us that her subjects get very excited when they see their photos in print: "One transgender gentleman had just finished transitioning and the photograph was empowering for him and his community. When I told him it had been printed in a German magazine he was so proud and excited – I had to track down copies for him and have them shipped over. It was heartwarming. One of the most prominent photos of the 'Jessica' series has been printed in just about every country. The image of her is almost iconic - someone called her youth culture American Goddess. Also, a friend and her young family were one of my first photos of her and every time it is published she is still so excited and we try to get copies." #8

View more comments This project has been going on for 6 years already. It's a very long period that might make it hard for people to keep being inspired. However, for Barbara, it's not like that. "Every time a door opens for me with a new subject I am completely overpowered by the newness, mystery and vulnerability of the scene. There is an aura that hangs in the air the whole time I am shooting. This is a person's life and story to be told and it is a high honor to be the one to tell it so I take it very seriously. Photography is the art form I have chosen and I am always invigorated and reborn over and over by it." #10

It's as though I finally gave myself permission to chase everything unabashedly, from what I believe family looks like to the sounds I want to share with the world. The world is opening up to me more every day."

Ashley: "If you told me 5 years ago that I would be a touring musician, married to my amazing and beautiful wife, and living happily in Portland, I would have cried tears of happiness. Never give up the fight for your version of happiness in this life. You won't know the treasures that lie ahead until you're there living them. With our powers combined, we can do anything."

Called the Camp Creek fire, started November 2018, took 86 lives. Considered to be one of the deadliest and worst natural (I have issues with it being called natural) disasters in California history, and one of the most expensive. Caused by the local electric companies faulty electric line (the utility had been cutting corners on servicing their equipment and tree maintenance all over the State resulting in fire after fire). Many people including myself think the CEOs ought to be jailed for murder. I was privy to photos of the destruction, and it was life altering just to see the photos. I hope these victims see some fair restitution soon, it’s been waaaaay too long to continue to live homeless as a direct result of negligence from a utility company 191 191points reply View More Replies...
