Frank Horvat

In a strict sense, the voyeur is someone who seeks sexual pleasure with their eyes. In a broader sense, it is someone who want to possess with their eyes, not necessarily for sexual ends. In this sense, every photographer is a voyeur, and voyeurism is one of the “keys” to my house.
However, in my photographs, I realized that voyeurism had less to do with some sexual drive than with a feeling of guilt I associate with the moment I took the photographs, and the thoughts that went through my head when I saw them again.
A photographer’s voyeurism can be quick and painless, but it can only go in one direction, where the person satisfying his desire does not take into account the desire (or refusal) of the other.
Would this famous designer appreciate looking so feminine? Or this woman on Madison Avenue, who’d spent several hours perhaps in the mirror restoring her youth. Would she like how I saw her through my viewfinder?
I’m not saying I lose sleep over any of this. But voyeurism, like every manifestation of our libidos, has its moments of repentance…
