How much can we really know about someone in just a few seconds? This project explores the psychological concept of thin slicing the idea that we make rapid judgments based on limited information. Within moments of seeing a person, we instinctively form assumptions about their character, status, and identity, often without realising it. Through a series of carefully composed portraits, this work examines how clothing, body language, and subtle visual cues influence perception. By photographing the same individual in different outfits and contexts, the project challenges the accuracy of first impressions and highlights how identity is often shaped by external assumptions rather than personal truth. Blending portraiture and psychology, this series invites viewers to reflect on their own biases and question the reliability of their snap judgments. In a world where appearance plays a crucial role in social interactions, how much of what we see is real, and how much is simply projection?
