Fashion Forward - 2011

prints-2


Part 1:
Composition: Two pictures that compose this idea of "fashion" in which the model is placed in awkward poses, ephimeral and somewhat funny.

Concept: Take fun on Fashion photography

Method: I used two lamps and my background wall. Most of the poses were imitation of "Haute Couture" fashion forward runways.

Motivations: Transgression. Me being a graphic designer and a communicator, I know of the little tricks and cheats that we do in order to make somebody look better. We deceive people into believing that the social construct that we present to them is actually real, when is just that: a construction.

Context: Fashion and the cult behind it.

Part 2
Interpretation: People were interested but not really that intrigued by the pictures, maybe because the other two prints run over them and were far more impressive.

Evaluation: The audience was interested and thrilled, yet they were not as drawn as to the other pieces.

Extension: I am done with social constructs by now. I can see myself playing with this fashion idea, yet my self-esteem and the audience will appreciate the fact of me going out of my comfort zone and not have more self portraits.
