Adorned
The Fashionable Show
I went to see Adorned at the Foam gallery during my trip to Amsterdam.
This exhibition consists of many artists coming together to take on a different approach to the general term "fashion photography. "
These artists use the tools of fashion photography to create work that makes us question ourselves and society.
They play with culture, gender, race and ages to make people question identities and to empower people.
I saw many portraits at this exhibition, all astoundingly made however, this portrait in particular piqued my interest.
The model is painted the same colour as the background, making him almost disappear. However, the lighting the photographer has used highlights the model so that they are clearly seen while simultaneously fading away. This is the standard to which I want to achieve in my own work. The lighting is subtle but bold and that is what draws me in.
