The lives of people told through photos of their bedrooms: discover the vision of this photographer

You don't need to go looking for amazing panoramas to take unforgettable photos: even our home can be the scene of photographic wonders. This is taught in photos such as those of the photographic series entitled "American Bedroom", a work by Barbara Peacock, an American photographer. Her vision, as Jay Davis (Getty Images) states on the site dedicated to the work in question, is: "a composite portrait of the United States through the portraits of Americans in their bedrooms".

For each photo, also posted to social media sites, Barbara Peacock associates the words of the subjects themselves to the photos, and all this makes a truly colorful and above all, riveting image and story of the life of many different individuals. The beauty of these shots lies in the fact that everyday and unstaged scenes can become works of art, in the hands of those who know how to grasp the poetry of everyday life. Take a look at this photographer's work:

She writes in the book: "American Bedrooms takes many forms, but the central theme is always LOVE - mutual love, one for another and for life". Here then, is that a family gathered together on a bed of what one would say is a camper, and illuminated by the oblique rays of the sun - the photo becomes a beautiful tribute to a shared love.

To take the photos for the series, Peacock travelled across the United States. This image, for example, was taken in Arkansas and depicts a 6-year-old girl named Megan who she claims to be "a unicorn and a fairy".

Looking at these photos, whatever pose the subjects are in, the combination of their images, what the room tells about them and the words chosen to caption the photo, manages give us a glimpse of their lives.

"The Beckman family, Auburn, Alabama. It took a long time to set aside enough money to buy a mattress, and it's just not big enough.'"

"The Oyeniran family - Femi, 32. 'Our life is at a point where beauty and chaos are in perfect sync and we are exploring these boundaries.'"

Messy rooms, with sometimes even very intimate and personal scenes, and often tough, moving stories: in Barbara Peacock's collection you can glimpse the microcosms of many different peoples lives, all told in the phots of the most intimate space that exists outside us - the bedroom.
