Liminal Portraits - Laura Sackett

Liminal Portraits is an investigation into the contemporary issue of popularity of online social networking with teens. Sackett decided to capture this issue photographically.
This social networking issue that Sackett has raised is quite important in this time as teenagers growing up have learnt to be reliant on the internet and social networking. Sackett's work could influence mine as this is a topic that I would seriously think about doing, but in a different way. Although Sackett captures teens on the computer in her images, I don't find that the social networking issue is the focus. Social networking is refering to Facebook, MySpace, MSN, etc. but these photos just look like webcam photos of teenages - which would focus simply on the popularity of the use of computera with teenagers instead of social networking.
