A selection of some of the photos I took at Jill Furmanovsky's exhibition in London. These are all from her collage. Stunning shots.

If you can make it to her exhibition it is well worth it. There are many other photos of rock stars that she took over the course of her 50 year career. She is a wonderfully talented photographer.

MADRE

Marisol Mendez

Although Bolivia is a pluricultural country with a rich loom of femininity, the representation of women remains whitewashed and phallocentric. To this day, Catholicism and class struggles permeate our understanding of womanhood with Catholic dogmas reinforcing society's Madonna-Whore complex and inequality manifesting as the under and misrepresentation of indigenous and mestizo women. MADRE was conceived to challenge this embedded machismo and celebrate the diversity and complexity of my culture through the portrayal of its women. The project became a cathartic experience that allowed me to (re)connect to my female lineage and through it (re) invent the history of Bolivia.

Radiant Tranquility By Phazon Míchel

This stunning portrait, titled "Radiant Tranquility," captures a serene and ethereal beauty, highlighted by the vibrant colors that swirl around the subject. The subject stands in profile, her delicate features bathed in a soft, glowing light that accentuates her calm and composed expression. Her hair, a striking blend of pink and purple, flows gracefully behind her, merging seamlessly with the dynamic, colorful background.

Inspired by the moments of reflection and hope in "Lovely Bones," this piece evokes a sense of peaceful introspection and otherworldly grace. Just as Susie Salmon finds moments of solace and hope in her personal heaven, the subject here embodies a sense of calm and tranquility amidst the swirling chaos of colors around her. The gentle interplay of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to the portrait, enhancing the subject’s serene demeanor.

"Radiant Tranquility" celebrates the serene and reflective aspects of femininity. It invites the viewer to explore the quiet strength and inner peace of the subject, offering a glimpse into a moment of stillness and contemplation. This portrait encapsulates the essence of ethereal allure and tranquil elegance, leaving a lasting impression of grace, serenity, and timeless beauty.

Miruku

Marisol Mendez

Miruku focuses on the Wayuus an indigenous population from La Guajira, Colombia's coastal desert. The project examines how a combination of climate change issues and human negligence have led its various members to experience a stifling water shortage. In the region, the problem is cyclical and polymorphous. While some communities can achieve certain stability during rainy seasons, temperatures are bound to rise drying up the land again. Global warming only aggravates this, causing droughts and famine, and spoiling the facilities and installations that help source clean water.

Diane Arbus by Allison Adams

Diane Arbus (1923-1971) was an American photographer, who is best known for her black-and-white portraits of marginalized people, often thought as bizarre or unattractive by mainstream society. Diane and her husband were a successful team in fashion photography before she branched out on her own, wandering around the city, photographing the interesting New Yorkers she found on the fringes. She went to great lengths to meet her subjects and get the shot thats that she wanted, and her hard work paid off. She became admired as an artist as well as a photographer as she exhibited her work at the Museum of Modern Art and others. Diane Arbus is considered the most important female photographer of her generation and her work remains as groundbreaking and beloved today as it was then.

Kasia, in colour published in Selin Magazine.

An editorial we created at Doris Land was published in Selin Magazine Issue 27 Vol 3.

Kasia and I have known each other for 6 years now, I met her when I reached out to Numa Models asking for a model for a creative. That relationship gave me a job that lasted three years. I created test images for the agency’s new models.

Connection is the glue that keeps us going, the thread that pulls us forward and I am so grateful for all of the amazing ones I have in my life.

Because I never post at a reasonable hour. Have a new gallery. Heads up, there is n/k/d female in it. You have been warned.
