Personae

Interested in the process of transformation, Dalpé collaborates with his subjects to express different facets of their personalities. Through this partnership, he is able to coax out identities that lay just below the surface, blurring the boundaries of who is real and who is not, producing family portraits derived from a single subject. Dalpé manipulates these portraits in a digital environment, placing his subjects side-by-side within his frame to expose the construct of “truth” in documentary photography.
