Abstract
This paper presents the outcomes of a practice-led research project that questions how the notion of experienced time might be articulated through photographic portraits. These images were titled duregraphs, a neologism comprised of the French duree and the Greek graphe. The aim of this study is to challenge conventions of power and anticipation between the spectator and the image and to broaden the ways that we might consider time as duration within post-photographic images. The resulting images negotiate a space between motion and stillness, where the spectator is rewarded for waiting with the image by the subtle movements that occur across the duration of their viewing.
