I SEE YOU LIKE THIS is a mobile photo studio and a process which involves parent/child pairs - enabling a child to observe their parent and a parent to experience being seen by their child.  Beginning with the choice of an object which best represents their adult subject, kids completely art direct a creative portrait directly onto their parents face.

With our ever-growing appetite to document our lives through photos and selfies, children are so often the reluctant subjects of their parent’s cameras.  Asked to smile, look cute, look that way, and come in closer, often an interruption to their own concentrated play, I See you Like This turns the camera back and allows children to see their parents as subjects through the lens of their own imaginations.

I SEE YOU LIKE THIS was created by JESSICA WILSON with MATILDA WOODROOFE.

Photography by CARLA GOTTGENS, IENE MESOTTEN, RACHEAL MAIN and KENZI ST GEORGE.

I SEE YOU LIKE THIS - En Masse Style

I SEE YOU LIKE THIS is a process which can be used with the booth and one on one sessions (ISYLT APPOINTMENT STYLE) OR as a festival or foyer event where kids use their parent's face as a canvas in a quick process using their parents own smartphones to capture the image (ISYLT EN MASSE).  It is so empowering and fun for kids to have their parent surrender to their creative mind - and hands. Below you see a collection of the 1000’s of images produced through ISYLT EN MASSE.
