Brielle - Open Post

These are two images from an exhibit at the ICP entitled "Weird Beauty: Fashion Photography Now." The exhibit presented a lot of innovative recent fashion photographs and really showed how fashion photography has really become its own category of art - some of the photos were incredibly good and extremley moving (I wanted to post them here, but the images aren't posted here...go see the exhibit if you can...it's up until March) The photos really changed the way I view fashion photography - I definitely feel that the photos showcased how art, sexuality, narrative, digital media, and youth culture have influenced the fashion industry. To me these photos weren't selling clothes, makeup, or accessories, they were telling very strong stories.
