As an art historian, I look at the visual तस्वीरें for insight into the world we live in. How do artistic endeavors reflect the social, cultural, economic and political conditions of the times? How do the things we look at, the things we create give insight into the world around us?
Over the years, many of my academic interests have come together in the realm of fashion photography. This critical inquiry into fashion फोटोग्राफी has emerged from the history of फोटोग्राफी and my interest in the body itself as a work of art--as both a symbolic and real means of communication. Both clothed and unclothed, the body is a cultural construction.
The best thing about fashion and fashion फोटोग्राफी is its ACCESSIBILITY. Everyone understands and incorporates fashion into their lives to a certain extent. To me, this accessibility makes it और "art" than abstract paintings and sculptures या urinals displayed in museum galleries because आप don't have to know the history of art या be well-versed in contemporary social and/or philosophical theories to look at and understand fashion images.
So for me, this "Fashion फोटोग्राफी Spot" includes both my personal interest in fashion photographs (because I just प्यार to look at them!) as well as my academic interest in understanding these तस्वीरें that capture millions of people's attentions on a daily basis. And for whatever reason you're here, I hope आप enjoy yourself!
