Have you ever thought an image speaks volumes about the photographer…I
do. This can be totally up for discussion – but I think looking at
these images I can post this.As pretty as these images are they are also
distant, cold and remote (in their own way lifeless.)My teacher said
the essence of art is to capture the soul. I feel like this photographer
carefully drained the women of their “soul” in these pictures.
They
look like mannequins and although I appreciate the concept of his
images as “controlled visions”. Isn’t the essence of women that we are
totally uncontrolled, unpredictable and emotional isnt that what makes a
woman have strength.

Yes, I’m a art student and yes, I realize
this is just an editorial photographer not a contemporary artist in the
slightest. And, I know fashion photography often is perceived as
simplistic and totally unconceptual  (I see that with the idea of
“controlled images” it’s a one trick pony as a marketing ploy.) BUT some
fashion photography captures the moment, has power and emotion. I for
example I really like Erik Ogden he even had his work in a gallery. I
like his photos because you feel like he capture his subjects in such a
way you also feel like you know them. I feel this photographer likes to
re-create his subjects but in such away you realize its more a
reflection of him. If I was going to go all CSI on this you almost see
him all by himself in some super sterile environment and some sort of
huge insecurity about needed to feel in control of women.
