A Girl and Her Dress, Copyright 2000 Jeff Spirer
There was a comment by Christel about one of Tom's photos, something about the photo appealing to male fantasy. I do find that some photos have a very male or very female perspective. Oddly enough, I took this yet think that it has a very female perspective, something that I picked up on but don't understand at all, about being a child made to look like a woman, an awkwardness with it all. The deliberately uncomplimentary lighting seems to emphasize the difficult nature of the whole thing. At least that's what it seems like to me, looking at it six months after I took it.
To those familiar with Graciela Iturbide's work, it does seem like a pale imitation...
