“The Smothering”
ARTIST STATEMENT
My “Tricks” series is inspired by the anxiety disorder and for “The Smothering”, I wanted to represent the symptoms of shortness of breath and lightheadedness. The ambiguity of the disorder (and its frequent misinformation or ‘dustbin diagnosis’) spurred me to produce images that demonstrate the psychological complexity of the mind of someone likely to suffer from anxiety: being more than a low ebb, but a daily roller-coaster of going from emotional peaks to troughs. For me, this image is a lively portrayal of what is often disconcerting in reality. However, I welcome that people have taken their own wide-ranging interpretations.
ARTIST BIO
My self-portraiture began as a pastime, grew into a habit, and evolved into a niche. Although I shoot other subjects, I continue to find self-portraiture not just convenient, but also rewarding for the way ‘personal’ becomes ‘universal’ through sharing my various semblances of ‘self’ with the world.

An Interview with Portrait Photographer Natalie Dybisz

My favourites inevitably change over time, at the moment one that springs to mind is 'The adjustment'. It's not a nude, so no-one can harp on about me using my body to get attention. It's not a trick image (only very subtlely) so no-one equally can be distracted by the 'hows' and the mechanisms of the production and query me as to how I 'did it'. And, whilst it is a slight 'composite', ie. one small part layered in Photoshop, it's not heavily processed, so people don't go on about my 'digital techniques' more than anything. It's an image that uses shape in a way that I think is interesting, and I think it has my style because of these eye-catching sweeping shapes that are, as I say, not too OTT (over-the-top) and 'Photoshopped'.
7. What has been your most interesting or dangerous assignment?
I have not done that many 'assignments' in terms of being given a brief by another person or client. Most of my work has been produced as independent, wanton self-portrait shoots, so I'll choose from those. By 'dangerous' I can probably only say the recent four trips I have made to derelict mental asylums, most of them with my boyfriend, Matthew, with whom I collaborated to make
