Download or read book Hannah Starkey written by and published by . This book was released on 2018-10 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the mid nineties, the Northern Irish photographer Hannah Starkey has dedicated her work to a labyrinth of ideas surrounding the female experience and the medium of photography. Recognised for her artfully constructed mise-en-scenes in which women of different generations take centre stage, Starkey's colour photographs often arise from close collaborations with actresses, friends or acquaintances she meets on site. Her images combine the subtlest of gazes and gestures with sophisticated forms of lighting, framing, colour and composition, to build multiple narratives that explore the psychological complexity of women. Challenging the aggressive ways in which the media often fetishize and sexualize women, she draws on the languages and techniques of an array of photographic genres to investigate the influence of photography on how it has shaped our ideas of what it means to be female. In Starkey's work, everyday moments of self-reflection or social interaction can take on the gravitas of modernday genre paintings, or the fleeting appearance of a film still. From her early staged scenes in Belfast, to her most recent documentation of the Women's Marches in London, this monograph spans the first twenty years of work by one of the most significant photographic artists of our time.
Download or read book Hannah Starkey written by Hannah Starkey and published by . This book was released on 2011-01-17 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty-nine striking pictures by celebrated photographic artist Hannah Starkey have been brought together for her biggest solo show in a decade. The Mead Gallery at Warwick Arts Centre is hosting the exhibition which runs until mid March 2011. The Belfast-born artist's work is notable for its day-to-day subject matter and cinematic studio staging. Her pictures depict women in carefully composed scenarios: slumped over a Coca Cola in a seedy pub, anguished in a waiting room, drunkenly passed out on the sofa. The cinematic mode of contemporary photography comprises a diverse range of practices and Starkey's near narrative photography is one particular type that needs to be differentiated from Cindy Sherman's mimicry of film production stills or Gregory Crewdson's elaborate staging of cinematic scenarios, Margaret Iversen, co-director of a research project called Aesthetics After Photography, said. What all of these artists' work has in common, however, is the evocation of the quintessentially cinematic emotions of desire, doubt or anxiety.

Download or read book Making It Up written by Marta Weiss and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2019-04-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revealing and timely book, Making It Up is an illustrated history of staged photography. Presenting work from the earliest to the most contemporary photographers, Making It Up challenges the idea that the camera never lies. With approximately one hundred photographs supported by extended commentaries, the book illustrates that, though we often recognize the staged, constructed, or the tableau as a feature of contemporary photography, this way of working is almost as old as the practice itself. Remarkable in themselves, these photographic fictions, whether created by early practitioners such as Lewis Carroll or Roger Fenton, internationally renowned artists such as Cindy Sherman and Jeff Wall, or contemporary figures such as Hannah Starkey and Bridget Smith, find new, intriguing relevance in our Photoshopped and so-called post-truth age.

Book excerpt: Made over the course of some thirty years, the photographs in this book depict the many faces of April Dawn Alison, the female persona of an Oakland, California based photographer who lived in the world as a man. This previously unseen body of self-portraits, which was given to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in 2017, begins tentatively in 1970s black-and-white, and evolves in the 80s into an exuberant, wildly colorful, and obsessive practice inspired by representations of women in classic film, BDSM pornography and advertising. A singular, long-term exploration of a non-public self, the archive contains photographs that are beautiful, hilarious, enigmatic, and heartbreakingly sad, sometimes all at once.0With essays by Hilton Als (American writer and theater critic for The New Yorker), Zackary Drucker (American transgender multimedia artist, LGBT activist, actress and producer of smash Netflix series Transparent) and Erin O?Toole (associate curator of photography at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art).00.

Download or read book Oobanken written by Mack and published by . This book was released on 2019-05 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining fragments of personal history, of memory and imagination, 'Oobanken' builds photographic narratives through constructions and performances. The spaces created are different in character from their wider surroundings, as if confined in an enclave or compound, revealing an attentiveness to what lies beyond the threshold of this self-imposed isolation.00Made while living in Yangon, Myanmar, this series derives from Jerome Ming?s early interest in built structures and interventions. While 'Oobanken' may direct us to inquire about the function of objects and the actions presented, Ming?s photographs also mirror the context in which they are made: that is, during a time of transition, in a place once isolated, a place once suspended in time.
Download or read book Chic Clicks written by Ulrich Lehmann and published by Hatje Cantz Pub. This book was released on 2002 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nan Goldin shoots campaigns for Prada, David LaChapelle does Camel cigarette ads, and Jurgen Teller got his start photographing models in i-D, W, and The Face. The debate between aesthetic images and commercial pressure has perhaps never been so relevant and complex as it is today, with the increasing commercialization of the art world, the not insignificant exploratory aspects of fashion photography, and our constantly expanding realm of visual references. To study these tensions and overlaps, Chic Clicks invited some 40 photographers to present both their free work and their published editorials from fashion magazines and advertising campaigns. Photographers well-known for their commercial work offer personal and exploratory prints; those who gained prominence in the fine arts display work they were subsequently hired to do for fashion companies and magazines. Accompanying essays approach fashion photography from various perspectives, from that of cutting-edge fashion magazines to the field of contemporary art photography.
