Fashion work is as much about how a material feels as how it looks. Intimate Relationship explores clothing as a sculptural form, using layers to play with concealment and revelation.
VIEW THE PHOTOGRAPHY SERIES ↗What does the audience need to see, hear or feel? The answer might be a film, an interview, a sequence for an installation or a photographic series.
We define the scope around the artist’s or organisation’s intention, the audience and the place the work will be experienced. Playback can lead direction and cinematography or contribute a defined role within your creative team.
