One of the threads that have been a constant in the photographs I’ve taken is the marriage of the worlds of fashion and art. For this assignment, I wanted to try bringing in new elements into my existing aesthetic, borrowing from a fashion lookbook I once stumbled upon as well as using male models that I would never usually consider photographing.
I’ve tried to incorporate the elements required in the image in a way that feels unforced – the two blue circular gradients in either corner of the richly patterned tapestry, the missing limbs of the two figures holding it up, and the industrial chain that borders the edge of the photo. There is both juxtaposition and a sense of falseness in the photograph’s composition, in the main subject’s ghostly complexion and grunge demeanor juxtaposes the floral backdrop, both set against a cold grey background, with two incomplete figures on either side.

this came together quite nicely, matin. it does feel like a fashion photograph while simultaneously breaking down the fashion structure and making light of the construct.

ReplyDeleteI think it is fashion... is there anything wrong with making a fashion image in art school?
ReplyDeleteif not... why try to disguise it?
