Cheers!

I posted these questions for a couple of reasons.
I was on a website that reviewed her recent book. I was not aware that she had published a book repesenting 15+ years of her work. It brought up mixed emmotions that I have regarding her work, and her, as a artist. Also, I like her work and I also really do not like it. I think that she is strong but also, lacks emmotion.

She has achieved great success in her work. But, is it whom she is shooting that makes that photograph great? Would the photo of Demi Moore on the cover of Vanity fair have the same impact if it were an unknown pregnant woman? by its self, framed, hanging in a gallery? When I look at her work I think that some of the photographs are really strong, powerful, dramatic. BUt, I also think that they lack emmotion, motivation and insight. It feels to me that the subject of one of her photographs is approached liked business. They seem cold and impersonal.

I have only seen one or two of her pictures from her private life/portfolio and maybe this is where I would find her work to be stronger. Her book women I thought was very weak. I was excited to see what she would do but, when you go to used book shop and find 3-4 copies of this book-something is up… I also was really dissapointed with her book on athlets. The almost perfect model of mother nature and her shots were boring(sorry). When I came upon the shots of Jessie Owen–It was a let down. A let down because of her fame, success and notoriety.

If I am correct, she was the first female photographer to be purchased by the Smithsonian for a photo that was a direct copy of a photo taken by the late, great Imogen Cunnigham. There are a few photos of hers that are direct copies…this tells me she is not an artist but, in business. And, damn good at it.

Thorsten, thank you for sending me that site. And, for sending me yours. I am impressed you are self taught. Lismore, nothing happens here. Great surroundings for still lifes and landscapes. I need a darkroom. And, a good model.
