Dugan reflects on desire, intimacy, companionship, and the ways our identities are shaped by these experiences. In this highly personal collection of work, Dugan brings together self-portraits, portraits of individuals and couples, and still lifes, interwoven with diaristic writings reflecting on relationships, solitude, family, loss, healing, and the transformations that define a life. Dugan has long used photography to understand their own identity and to connect with others on a deeper level. Their process of working slowly and collaboratively discloses moments of heightened psychological intensity in images that transcend the specifics of a particular person or place, engaging with what it means to know oneself alongside and through others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eUsing medium-format cameras and natural lighting, Dugan employs traditional photographic practices to depict these contemporary subjects, resulting in images that both evoke and reimagine the conventional dynamics of art-historical portraiture. Brought together here, these photographs function as an extended, oblique self-portrait as much as a catalogue of friends and loved ones. Through a diffuse but studied sequence of image and text, \u003cem\u003eLook at me like you love me\u003c\/em\u003e brings our attention to one of the most powerful and complex forms of intimacy – that of seeing and being seen.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stop \u0026 Read Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52911858352408,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0693\/3649\/8456\/files\/Screenshot2026-10-15at4.15.09PM.png?v=1792098916","url":"https:\/\/www.stopandreadbooks.com\/products\/look-at-me-like-you-love-me","provider":"Stop \u0026 Read Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
