Javier Vallhonrat is a photographer I found when we went to the library last week. He was in a book called "Chic Clicks". I thought this book was great. it was full of fashion photographers that did work that could go into any category of "fashion photography." I liked Javier here mainly because I thought that his images had a real sense of light and mystery. It has an uneasiness and yet really high comfort level between the viewer and the model. Like we shouldnt be seeing them but the model is comfortable with it. His photos made the fashion look dirty and i liked the edge that he has. Theres also a real sense of voyuerism that I like and want to create in my series. I think that if you took the girl in the underwear off of the bed and left, a stocking or something, that could be like something that I may choose to put in my new work. I want dirty high fashion "voyeuristic still lifes" as we discussed in my individual meeting. Javier's color pallette is great too. I want to do black and whites again, but if I was going to do color I would choose a pallette much like his.
