Thesis 2010 Artist Statement – What’s it about?

“The Fantastical Adventures of an Unknown Photographer”

(1983- )

Visual Autobiograhy by Giselle Behrens.

Artist Statement:

Today’s fashion photography industry is becoming less and less creative, due to diverse socio-economical influences. This project is about combining fashion with surreal composites, promoting creativity in the field. The images are inspired by personal lifetime memories, which define who I am and where I come from as a person and photographer, while confronting today’s artistic issues in fashion photography.

Its all about imagination and creating the unthinkable using creative retouching. I am very open to ideas and actually want to know what you think. Like it? Hate it? Want to see it? Comments, thoughts, critiques are welcome.

I will keep you updated with drafts and ideas while I create it, so it is an open to the public project!
