For tommyrot: Jamie Campbell's Still Life Cat Photography
Cool. Nice pictures!
The images, generally shot on medium or large format film, often over a period of several hours with each cat, represent what Campbell describes as a “stoic vulnerability.” It’s a process that transforms the cats into mere objects or still lifes rather than revealing their inner qualities. Like his staged images of people, they are all frozen moments, crafted fictions. “Perhaps when slowing things down,” Jamie tells us, “placing them in a more ‘serious’ studio situation and no longer treating them as cats, but more like pure subjects, things begin to change.
Huh. Interesting.
