Alex[andra] Revisited

New

In light of recent critiques, I have decided to retract my previous artist statement. As is the case with most bodies of work, a few revisions must be drafted before the work and the statement can cohesively work together. While I will not be immediately replacing my "flawed" statement with a more accurate description of the series, I will be moving in a more definite direction.

My previous statement declared this body work of work as a representation of people and their identities as conveyed by their dress. While this somewhat coincided with the idea in my head (combining real people with personal style aesthetics), I found myself trying to emulate yet disassociate the Sartorialist's style of "photojournali-ng" his fashionable subjects. While it is true Sart has been known to shoot runway and editorials, he is most famous for his photojournalistic approach in displaying his images, almost a daily fashion commentary to be likened to a daily periodical such as WWD (Woman's Wear Daily).

Therefore, I have decided to change a few things... 1) I will continue to utilize some of the urban, eclectic settings as the backgrounds for my shots 2) I'd like to focus more on the editorial/fashion campaign styles of professional fashion photography 3) Rather than happening upon a shot or subject, I'd like to take a more methodical and meticulous approach to directing my shoots.
