Bought from an Australian Artist whom is now living and working in New York. This is from the artists 'Edition 15' signature series and is number 3 of 15. Comes with Signature of Authenticity and is printed on Archival Hahnemúhle Paper. Article Extract on the series from 'After Capture Magazine' by Peter Skinner "Images that Intrigue" Fabricate "A superb example of a campaign eliciting that emotional response is one of Dean’s most recent success stories—images for an ongoing series, “Fabricate,” for couture designers MXM Couture (www. mxmcouture.com). Significantly, the initial two images in the “Fabricate” campaign claimed first and second place in the latest Commercial/Advertising Photographer of the Year International Aperture Awards. In the only other competition Dean has entered—as a student—he claimed a gold and silver distinction and a runner-up award for prints in the annual Australian Professional Photographers Association awards. “ ‘Fabricate’ is a collaboration of some of the best stylists and production people that Australia has to offer and I feel it definitely shows. There will be five images in the series and the first two took months to produce so there are still three more to complete. It’s a really exciting campaign,” says Dean. “Fabricate,” as Dean explains, has a double meaning and is an exploration into conceptualization; its execution is definitely a mental exercise. “ ‘Fabricate’ refers both to the subject of fashion photography, the clothes, and more importantly to the images’ fabrication—how they are created in the sense that they are highly stylized pre- and postproduction collages,” he says. Each image is designed and created with the intention of arousing intense curiosity and examination into not only its finality but also how it was made and its underlying theme. “The images turn the exhibition of fashion through photography back on itself by exposing the process of exhibition itself—exhibiting the exhibit, if you will,” says Dean. While this is a classic case of a picture being worth a thousand words, Dean points out that the multi-layered images allow viewers to analyze the process of digital photography itself, which incorporates surreally collaged objects or has perfectly manicured and poised models caught in mid-jump. “The series is united by a sense of volatility,” Dean says. “Subjects are frozen within turbulent scenes. This chaos, depicted through flapping wings, flowing dresses and crashing objects, is meant to reflect the flippant, fleeting and unstable nature of the fashion industry. And yet within this chaos each image captures an ephemeral moment of beauty, allowing the models to maintain their dominance—to which the audience is unwittingly subjected.” Scrutinize the superb images and you will see exactly what he means. As with all complex and multi-faceted campaigns, the genesis of “Fabricate” has been long and demanding. Several months were devoted to drafting the original concepts, set building, hair and costume design" Article by Peter Skinner |
