- Barbara Peacock photographs people in their bedrooms for a series called "American Bedroom."
- Her subjects range in age, gender, and relationship status.
- Each image is accompanied by a quote from the person featured about what their bedroom means to them.
For some, their bedroom is a place where they retreat to relax. For others, it's a lonely room that feels too empty. For families with little ones, bedrooms are rarely quiet or still.
With her series "American Bedroom," photographer Barbara Peacock seeks to provide an intimate glimpse into the private dwellings of people across the country.
"The goal is for the photographs to look as if you peeked into their bedroom," she told INSIDER.
Her subjects range in age, gender, and relationship status, and every room is entirely different. Peacock has photographed people on the East Coast and in the South, but she plans to continue the series throughout the US.
"I find the whole process fascinating because I have new subjects and often an unknown space and source of light with which to create something," she said. "It's like a gift and a puzzle to solve every time."
