As an art historian, I look at the visual 이미지 for insight into the world we live in. How do artistic endeavors reflect the social, cultural, economic and political conditions of the times? How do the things we look at, the things we create give insight into the world around us?
Over the years, many of my academic interests have come together in the realm of fashion photography. This critical inquiry into fashion 사진 has emerged from the history of 사진 and my interest in the body itself as a work of art--as both a symbolic and real means of communication. Both clothed and unclothed, the body is a cultural construction.
The best thing about fashion and fashion 사진 is its ACCESSIBILITY. Everyone understands and incorporates fashion into their lives to a certain extent. To me, this accessibility makes it 더 많이 "art" than abstract paintings and sculptures 또는 urinals displayed in museum galleries because 당신 don't have to know the history of art 또는 be well-versed in contemporary social and/or philosophical theories to look at and understand fashion images.
So for me, this "Fashion 사진 Spot" includes both my personal interest in fashion photographs (because I just 사랑 to look at them!) as well as my academic interest in understanding these 이미지 that capture millions of people's attentions on a daily basis. And for whatever reason you're here, I hope 당신 enjoy yourself!
