Default State
Naked - Alone - Vulnerable
A photography project by Tim Metcalfe to capture the Default State of humans.
Humans survive and advance by forming social groups and passing acquired knowledge to the next generation. Without this, your default state would be to be naked, alone and vulnerable. It would be a state below physiological needs on Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
Default State can also happen due to wars, pandemics, natural disasters and forms of government such as Communism under Stalin, Mao or Pol Pot, which can lead to anarchy and famines.
This image was generated by DALL-E and is ideal but the model needs to be naked.
Models required who can capture the Default State
You will be comfortable being photographed in a nude artistic form, similar to the examples below. You will be paid a fee and reasonable travel expenses.
The photoshoot will take place in the UK or Türkiye.
Email us at info@default-state.com for information about taking part.
Similar photography styles but that do not capture Default State
Good but she's smiling, posing and it doesn't give the sense that she's alone in nature.
Better but again she's posing and the brightness and background doesn't make her seem vulnerable.
Background better but too close on her and again she's posing.
