Armed with a disposable camera and digital recorder concealed inside a small red purse, London-based photographer Natasha Caruana went on 80 dates over a year with married men she found through a dating website for those looking to have affairs.
Caruana shot these images of her dates without permission although the identity of the men is carefully concealed and only a few frames were taken per meeting so as to not arouse suspicion.
Caruana explains that ‘Married Man’, like some of her other work, is centered around “love and life of the everyday”.

Completely pointless and exploitative. I guess it’s OK because…they’re men. Or something.
I kinda have to agree with the other poster. It’s an interesting idea. I mean, I think it’s interesting to think about married men out on dates. You might wonder who they are or is there something that unifies them beyond them dating. In fact, all kinds of questions are brought up but this series answers none of them and, perhaps more importantly, does not allow the viewer to answer any of them.
The use of flash I suspect makes her method less than stealthy?
