This is "Fifteen Minutes With You," a collection of works by London-based photographer Itai Doron. Doron has been photographing male immigrant workers from Eastern Europe and people who visit his studio using instant photography for five years, and this book compiles that project. The photographs feature subjects with muscular bodies and tough attire, and at times, actions that can be interpreted as fighting, stripping, or provocation unfold in front of the camera. Context and text are kept to a minimum, and the composition is characterized by leaving the mystery of the situation to the viewer, quietly observing the intersection of "masculinity" and "body/lust/observation." Doron's perspective, while set in everyday spaces, captures the tension, absence, and negotiation beneath the surface, embodying the duality of improvisation and documentation inherent in photography. The immediacy of the Polaroid format blurs the distance between subject, photographer, and viewer, while evoking fluctuations of time and memory through the material of the photograph. With its quiet power, interplay of intention and chance, this book stands out not only as a photographic work but also as an art book that re-examines contemporary body, identity, and institutions.
