Anna Gaskell

http://www.utata.org/sundaysalon/anna-gaskell/

Obviously, these images are staged. Gaskell is recreating a scene she sees in her mind. They aren’t reality; they’re a representation of reality. Because the scenes in the photographs lack context…because the viewer isn’t privy to the beginning or the ending of the scene…they convey an enigmatic urgency. They spark a powerful need for more information while denying the viewer all access to more information

Another photo-shoot involving myself






Here I tried to go for a different kind of photo shoot, firstly I have used myself throughout all the shots, working with a more personal up-close and abstract feel. Focusing more on the objects or pieces of clothes rather then the person themselves. Wanting to create a narrative: An unspoken story.
