Favourite Photographer :

Jeff Henrikson

I have always been interested in photography as i studied it at A level for two years. At the beginning i wasn't that fascinated by photography but when i got into my last year at school i started exploring the diversity of photographers and how each had their own way of working. Due to my love of fashion it made sense that i was drawn more toward the fashion and makeup side to photography, this is what i based my final project around. Studying Fashion communication has forced me to research more into different fashion platforms. while exploring Dazed and looking at different fashion campaigns, i came across the Photographer Jeff Henrikson whom is a fashion photographer. His work is something which fascinated me. He isn't a cliche normal fashion photographer - taking images in studios, but produces edgy minimal yet extremely effective images. From what i have seen the models in his work seem to be more androgynous rather than high fashion plain models. This is something i feel adds to the effectiveness of his images. I particularly like his set of images where the model has a red blunt hairstyle which he has paired with an element of illustration on the face and feet, combining art and photography. The minimalism in his photography is striking, taking simple images of hair or parts of the body.
