"Lightness Through Dark"
October 22 - November 3, 2018
As a fashion photographer, it if often dismissed
that there is a constant story to tell. I was captivated by the Badgley Mischka
Fall/Winter Collection not only as beauty and elegance in fashion but as also
seeing all the elements of art in fashion. The campaign not only begins to tell
a story of the renowned designers Mark & James but also fashion as an art
form. After seeing such an embellished and sophisticated collection, my vision
for the campaign was inspired by Caravaggio.
Seeing his work around Europe and other Baroque
period artists, I was able to bring painterly elements into the perfect setting
of the Historic Chelsea Mansion in Long Island. Blending together a place of
history that had a strong sense of mood, elegance and charm with European and
Asian influences pulled me to see the collection come alive in “Lightness
through Dark”- a celebration of Caravaggio-inspired glamour.
The plays on light and shadow as well as creating
mysterious moments really began our story. Caravaggio himself used live models
as a painter and found the profound nature of the human state, both physical
and emotional. Juxtaposing and incorporating his rather harsh approach in his
personal work to a very glamorous and luxurious setting makes this fashion
story not just about the attire but rather about the mood and mystery.
