Barbara said the 7am/7pm project was a reaction to the growing popularity of social media and selfies and people becoming more aware of their own image.
She said:
“Because of social networks, increasing use of cameras in
daily life, selfies… over the years I realised everyone has become more
used to posing. People are [more aware] of their image.When I was asking them five years ago to pose for me in the street,
there was a shy look … they were trying to hide behind their bag or

“Now this innocence is fading away. But I am searching for this
vulnerability. I don’t want the controlled perfect image.Therefore, I
need to place them in a more vulnerable position. Culled from Daily Mirror
