Rosie Harriet Ellis presents her book, The Boyfriend Casting, a deeply intimate and bold exploration of love, consent and objectification. The work began after an ex-boyfriend withdrew his consent to participate in a photography project, forcing Ellis to reconsider his approach to intimacy and image-making. This act of rejection triggered a deep desire for a new partner, both romantically and creatively. Over a period of five years, Ellis used the camera as a therapeutic tool, accompanying her through a complex emotional landscape of pain, desire and exploration of reverse objectification. As a photographer who captures her lovers, Ellis's diverse photographic styles document her transition in age. Through raw, honest images and diary-like reflections, The Boyfriend Casting reveals the contradictions and complexities of love, obsession, and the blurred lines between personal and artistic expression.
