Vince Aletti for the New Yorker:

“IDENTITY IDENTITIES”

Stephen Frailey, the head of the undergraduate photography department at the School of Visual Arts and a photographer himself, gathers a group of eleven recent S.V.A. grads whose work confronts issues of identity, whether directly or glancingly. Ambitious, accomplished, and decidedly quirky, the material here is encouraging in its range; no matter how uneven, it rarely feels impersonal or imitative. Inevitably, several of the participants explore aspects of self-portraiture, most often through absurdist but sharp-witted impersonation (Jess Shaffer, Jennifer Lee, Nicola Kast). Hugo Fernandes’s shadowy images of men are full of erotic possibility, some of it realized, and Kelly Clark’s seemingly straightforward shots of suburban homes tease out the terrible stories that lurk behind ordinary façades. Jing Quek’s artfully constructed pyramid of cheerleaders is the show’s fun pièce de résistance. Through Aug. 20. (Aperture, 547 W. 27th St. 212-505-5555.)

show show and more shows

Lucky me!! I was asked to be a part of a group show at the Aperture Foundation Gallery:

The show ends today so if you get the chance please stop by! We had a great response from the show and I'm really grateful to have been part of it. My favourite was Susanne Persson's work:

Susanne Persson (Sweden, b. 1982) manipulates consumer product logos, removing select details and leaving a skeletal framework of form and color.

She is also an amazing designer:

Guess who filmed this...

Lighting

I have the most difficult time with lighting.  I don't fully understand it and its very difficult for me to capture it.  I need to practice or I will continue being an okay photographer.

I miss my best friend. She is going back to Sweden indefinitely and I can't stand this thought. I want to go with her more than anything. I can't stand not being with her.
