The bedroom is probably the most personal and intimate space where one can be the truest version of oneself. It is a place to relax from the outside world, the spot where we start and end the day. Maybe that's why it's also so intriguing to have a glimpse of other people's bedrooms. It's like getting to know their real personalities in a way. 

Being interested and passionate about "poetic resonance of ordinary subjects", photographer Barbara Peacock travels the USA to take intimate and anthropological pictures of average Americans in their bedrooms. These photographs are part of a project called "American Bedroom" that shows the many different living conditions and lifestyles that make up the American experience. After taking a look at these candid photographs, we invite you to check out Barbara's older photos that we previously shared here

God bless you Doris. I’m so happy to hear she has a good family. I’m currently caring for my momma who is elderly and disabled. Lost my father in March. I will always care for those who cared for me.

I think it's how she's been photographed. She may be, I don't know. But the photograph emphasizes things we associate with sadness & loneliness - her age & frailty, the curve of her body on the bed with its rucked covers & lining, the low light with, in the 2nd photo, a sunbeam that arcs away from her. But the room & bed are clean, she's dressed in the 1st photo, she's got slip-on shoes by the bed, and in the 2nd photo, she's got some sort of roller or hair-clip on. It looks to me like she's cared for, at the very least, and still cares about herself & her surroundings. The piano is open, too, maybe she still plays.

Barbara shared with Bored Panda that the idea of photographing people in their rooms was born in 2016: "I woke up early one morning and looked out my bedroom window to look at my garden. When I turned around I saw my husband wrapped up in blankets, bathed in beautiful golden light with his snore mask on. I had to chuckle at the dichotomy of beauty and humor. Then I thought about how I would complete the scene. It was then I realized that what we have on our side tables and around the room tells a distinct and personal story."

The photographer began to think about taking pictures of people in their bedrooms across the whole country. Most of Barbara's friends said that it was a very interesting concept. She started by photographing a few friends and some interesting people she met.

    DennyS America is most certainly not portrayed as the “land of dreams” by the media. Wake up. America is besmirched by the media most of all. Those who hold the American Dream as a goal are those who have fought hard to be and stay here legally and know what true adversity and lack of freedom get and individual. Nothing. This child’s plight is the result of a fires A horrific result, to be certain…heartbreaking. Yet clearly not about right v. left or capitalism v. socialism. No country gives more domestically or internationally in times of crisis to those in need than America to the world be it in private sector donations, material goods, volunteerism or outreach. Do not condemn this country simply because you have the right to speak freely about our nation. I pray for this child, her family and community, but remind all of us that strength comes from challenges not material comforts.Help is coming Faith..

    It was not that easy to find people who would be willing to open their bedroom doors and be completely honest and vulnerable. Yet, to Barbara's surprise, there are plenty who would.

    "When I plan a trip to a place in the US, I make an announcement on Facebook and Instagram. Many folks will reach out and say they are willing, or they have a friend, relative or neighbor. From there the contacts grow. Also, I place ads on Craigslist and I print up cards with info about the project and my contact info. I leave these cards around during my travels. I also make it a point to go to smaller towns so I can visit local diners and small shops where everyone knows everyone."

    Barbara photographs everyone who wants to be in the project. That’s her rule. "You just never know how it will turn out and I meet the most interesting and diverting people. Some make me laugh and others tug at my heart and soul for days."

    I'm sorry that you have this struggle. When my mom had cancer (she passed within a year) my parents decided that assisted living was best for my brother. He now has his own home with 24-7 staff and a good relationship with family. It wasn't just that my dad wouldn't be able to handle it (he actually waited about 4 yrs after my mom died) but my brother deserves to have a life of his own too. I hope you have support.

    We got curious about how the photographer manages to make people feel comfortable in front of her camera and expose their personal and intimate lives. Barbara shared that she chats with her subjects for a bit before they start. "I'm friendly and not very intimidating so it's usually easy to build a rapport. I make sure they know it is collaboration and it is their portrait as much as it is mine. I never make anyone do anything they don’t want. If my subjects are naked it is because they want to be. For many people, it is a high point in their life to show, in the most honest way possible, who they are. To take off any artifice and reveal their true nature is truly fascinating and often people just come alive."

    The photographer told us that her subjects get very excited when they see their photos in print:

    "One transgender gentleman had just finished transitioning and the photograph was empowering for him and his community. When I told him it had been printed in a German magazine he was so proud and excited – I had to track down copies for him and have them shipped over. It was heartwarming. One of the most prominent photos of the 'Jessica' series has been printed in just about every country. The image of her is almost iconic - someone called her youth culture American Goddess. Also, a friend and her young family were one of my first photos of her and every time it is published she is still so excited and we try to get copies."

    The Indigenous American population are THE most ignored and underrepresented Humans in the United States. The living situations on many "Reservations" are Absolutely Deplorable. Domestic violence, drug/alcohol abuse are rampant, disappearances too common. We've faced the BLM Movement & as a person with Native American Ancestry I say times Up to face THIS issue. Do I think it will happen? Probably not...it's too big a shame...what can you say about taking an entire country from its inhabitants? The former President used the term "Pocahontas" and people protested for a nanosecond, has he used the vile N word people would still be trying to hold him accountable. It's time for a BLMAL - Brown Lives Matter A LOT Movement. ✌

    I agree, except that BLM and #MeToo have done little for Black FEMALES. BLM is mostly about Black males and white women stole #MeToo. So, if you're hoping for a joint BLM collaboration- it won't help Native American anymore than it helps Black females. It will just be a SHOW of support.

    Historically, Native tribes have not fared well when they tried to take on or resist the US government. As far as I know, only the Seminoles were successful.

    As far as rape, murder, abduction, sex trafficking, and domestic violence....it's #1 Native American females #2 African American females It's tough when your men and boys of color get so wrapped up in their own victimhood that they feel entitled to abuse and brutalize. But white men also still abuse and sexually exploit these groups (with people pretending it never happens anymore). But mostly white men don't care about these two groups of women the way they do white, Asian, and fairer, moderately ethnic looking Hispanic women.- especially white men in law enforcement, government and the court system.

    This project has been going on for 6 years already. It's a very long period that might make it hard for people to keep being inspired. However, for Barbara, it's not like that. "Every time a door opens for me with a new subject I am completely overpowered by the newness, mystery and vulnerability of the scene. There is an aura that hangs in the air the whole time I am shooting. This is a person's life and story to be told and it is a high honor to be the one to tell it so I take it very seriously. Photography is the art form I have chosen and I am always invigorated and reborn over and over by it."

    Lol Jonathan! My wife falls asleep almost every night with her glasses on. Sometimes I am still awake and I take them off and set them on the night stand. Sometimes, she wakes up in the morning and reaches for them on the night stand and then realizes they are still on her face. Then we both have a little chuckle. Great way for two old gals to start the day!

    I feel some of this photography does the opposite to convey the spirit of what's going on (unless I'm missing something) I studied this image, the room is a happy little girls room, fun, the caption shows her joy. The mood of the image looks like a charity ad for child neglect or something. No offence, just took me off gaurd

    The lighting... Initially, I thought it was being provided by nature but then it seemed to be emanating from the girls. I finally settled on it being a combination of both nature and nurture (and a skilled photographer/right place right time) that makes this so ethereally surreal.

    I read these and think...how lucky these people are that have a home. It's Christmas time of year and so many years as a child without a place to sleep...it's America, it's polarizing many children without a pillow, a bed, a home. Our elderly also suffer greatly without homes, money for medications. Be aware and take responsibility for each other. We need to be a community, not individuals making a future on the failures of others. I have a bedroom today because of things that are not good. People took advantage of me so that I may sleep in a bed. So, be kind, be a community that doesn't strip a person of their dignity.

I completely understand what it's like not having a place to call home, or even somewhere safe enough to lay down long enough to sleep, and you see all the people going about their normal lives and you want to cry because they don't understand how lucky they are to have something as simple as a bed, or a couch to lay on. I am truly sorry that people have hurt you, but I want you to know that it does get better, there are good people in the world. I am sending you love and good wishes and know that there is help out there, don't be afraid to ask for, and accept it

    Heartbreaking, no doubt a victim of the Paradise fires. Called the Camp Creek fire, started November 2018, took 86 lives. Considered to be one of the deadliest and worst natural (I have issues with it being called natural) disasters in California history, and one of the most expensive. Caused by the local electric companies faulty electric line (the utility had been cutting corners on servicing their equipment and tree maintenance all over the State resulting in fire after fire). Many people including myself think the CEOs ought to be jailed for murder. I was privy to photos of the destruction, and it was life altering just to see the photos. I hope these victims see some fair restitution soon, it’s been waaaaay too long to continue to live homeless as a direct result of negligence from a utility company

    I'm a camp fire survivor and I still live in the area. 3 years later people are still waiting for relief so they can rebuild. In the meantime many are still living in trailers or are still homeless. I have no faith but I am optimistic about the future of Paradise. It will never be the same cute little town it was but I don't think it will stay as it is now.

    As a NorCal resident and former CalFire Dispatcher who also lives in a mountain community the Camp Fire shook me to my core. Paradise has several roads going out of town, we have one, little to no cell service & a high geriatric population, thousands living off the highway that will be doomed should the Fire be blocking Highway 44...and it WILL happen, there hasn't been a major Vegetation Fire here in over 60 years. And for Mazer...the reason they called it a "Natural Disaster" was due to the 70mph winds. I saw in real time the first report of this Conflagration on the CHP website, I knew what the winds were on Highway 70 at the time & thought omfg...they can't stop it, I was honestly surprised there weren't more fatalities. As to the utility company...they now shut our power off for days denying many people access to their wells to get water should there be a fire, my former neighbors house burned to the ground this summer because he had no water & had it been windy, no Shingletown.

    I met a fellow artist that was from Paradise. She lost EVERYTHING, all of her paintings and supplies but more sadly she lost her doggy that she loved dearly! Not seen her since that first and only meeting but she was kind and had fire in her belly still (older woman) so I hope she found a new path here on the peninsula or maybe she's back keeping Jeanine company!

    She looks exhausted. I can somewhat imagine what she going through as I’ve lived in a camper for about 2 years before according to some people in the comments there no electricity or running water and it’s insanely hot there!! We always had a generator and we eventually got water! But if she had to live like that then my heart goes out to her. The exhaustion is understood.

    If you’re all quite done making snap judgements about my country a cursory internet search will reveal that Slab City is an intentionally off the grid location for people who want to live an alternate lifestyle. They are not there because of poverty but by their own choice. Check out pictures of the place on google earth. You’ll see what I mean

    It's amazing to see someone at peace and truly happy. Sad that people can't simply appreciate that, they instead patronize and act as if their way of life is the only way. Like our purpose in life is to work a 9-5 job. I admire your way of life and feel truly sorry to those who feel they have to serve the man rather than fulfill their own happiness. I'd hate to be herded like sheep, obviously others enjoy it. Cool thing about the human race is we have the right to be individual. Not everyone is a follower 😉

    Did you see the family??? 5 kids & 2 parents all piled into bed together? And yes, black. Also, at least 1 couple on here was mixed, (meaning one person was black) I wasn’t really keep track TBH. It’s obvious that photographer is white tho. She’s going to advertise, & attract similar people even if she believes she’s making an effort not to. If you want real representation, (and not token crap,) you generally have to have someone from your own community provide it. TBF, there were others families of color in here as well. But, you’re right in pointing out the under representation. I’m part Hispanic, (Tho to look at me, I’m every recessive gene that floated thru that side of the family.) I’m also an amateur photographer, and really focused on the composition of the photos. (The lighting in particular,) in most cases. The individuals were somewhat secondary to the rooms & focus itself. (But that’s me being artsy on a Friday night. So maybe not the best example.)

You’ll piss each other off & fight, but you’ll always come back to each other because you’re sisters. In the end, that makes you family AND friends.” My girls are in their teen years and they are just now getting to be friends again. (There we’re BFFs as toddlers. Then life/school happened. It’s been a little rough for a while. But I’m glad I was right.) I always wished for a sister. I’m so glad my girls have this in each other. This picture radiates what I hope for my girls.

    He may be 86 but he's doing his best to cate for a young daughter as his own health is starting to fail him. He's trying, regardless of his age and that's more than most younger, dead beat types do during their offsprings entire life.

    Maybe she killed the s*** that put her through all that and gone to trial. Now awaiting the verdict. "Or will they take my life from me",meaning prison or the death penalty which I think Texas still carries out. Case files on the bed perhaps? Just thinking out loud here. I hope justice prevails.

    Wow. My heart felt so much empathy while my eyes filled with tears. Whoever u are. U are not alone. "We" the many of us who had lived through having this world take bits and pieces of us for their pleasure. While trying hard to break us. All awhile hoping to force us to never see our worth. For us to never see the beauty that God created from within us. Many of us who live with regret, misery. While knowing that yesterday can never be lived again. Only this second, this very moment is a guarantee. For U, the person reading this to the person who is sure scroll pass this. Whatever doubt. Whatever darkness that covers your heart, mind, soul, and body. I ask that U cast it away! For even a dot of light will make the darkness disappear. Never forget that! Do not allow demons and devils to make U forget U were created by greatness! U are perfect! There is no other U! U have purpose! U are a BLESSING, a MIRACLE! Now look in the mirror and smile. Life is good even when it's bad! Hugs! ;)

    It is tough. It's tougher when you are older, set in your rigid ways. Young people can build their lives together. Older people need to work extra hard to mesh their established lives, compromise on what you thought was really the right way to do things. You both really need to want it because it is so easy to just give up and stay living alone.

    Thank you for showing a man with a woman sleeping with a C-PAP mask. After being diagnosed with sleep apnea 15 years ago, I started using one myself every night. First thing my father said was, "That's not a very sexy thing for a single woman to have to use". It took me a pretty long time before I would look at myself in a mirror while wearing the mask. However, I have slept like a baby ever since and I believe my good health and disposition are the result of getting such good sleep every night!

    Tarah, its hard, it really is. It took me 6 months and two different styles of masks. Its a therapy? So in order to get the benefit you need to keep at it. The biggest thing to remember is that sleep apnea and please dont' take my word for it, I am not a doctor, however over time your heart becomes enlarged and that leads to heart disease. You don't want to go that route.

    Ppl are quick to judge a "good" home or a "bad" one based on the $$value of it. Sad or happy. That's a very American way of thinking. I don't know Lupe's feelings about it. He looks comfy sleeping on the porch, prob no A/C. Many communities are good & bad. I've been to Guadalupe, Arizona, nestled right in PHX, & there are a lot of pro's & cons about it. It's mainly Mexican folk & has a great cultural, homey feel to it. I used to go to the little stores to buy ingredients for MX dishes, & maybe some fun things like handmade pinatas. Many great families that are happy being around each other. It is poor, therefore lacking opportunity & the typical things that occur w lack of $.

    I admire that you accept the chances of a professional career being small. I wish more young people could accept that their passion for athletics can just be a hobby. Too many coaches and parents force the idea that they can be a professional if they 'just worked harder at it." I knew a number of people in high school who were "all football, all the time" and devoted themselves fully to it at the expense of academics and the rest of their lives. I don't think any of them even made it onto college teams.

    My view is don’t let it go. I grew up with visual art being my whole life. By 30 I was pursuing a career outside art because I wasn’t totally confident I’d succeed as an artist. Now at 66, I’ve retired and devote all my time to painting and exhibiting. Often I think how if I hadn’t spent so many years away from it, I’d be experiencing success as an artist not playing catch up.

    Judging by the number of tuning pegs, it's a lute.

    Why does the poor get so many dogs

    Wow that's.....rude. A lot of people have pets prior to ending up as "the poor" and choose not to just throw their pets away, especially if kids are involved. Plus we have no idea if they are even impoverished, this could easily have been caused by a disaster like many of the other photos here and they are just trying to get back on their feet. Less assumptions and judgements and more understanding and compassion.

You hate anyone that's not a WASP, did you not know that all the human race originates on the African continent? Figure this one out.
