The Fluid Self: Visualising New Identities
This month Adobe Stock are exploring the ways our views of identity are changing and how Adobe are looking to bring greater diversity to stock. Adobe’s Principal of Creative and Visual Trends, Brenda Milis highlights that, “Identity is so much less permanent and stable than it used to be. Just consider the fact that Facebook has 71 gender options now. There are endless permutations of individual identity.

I love it when my work is published in Vogue and I think you will love to read this too. Alice Rosati is a very talented photographer. My column looks at the philosophy of the photographer as well as their incredible portfolios. “During the photographic shoot, Rosati establishes an intimate relationship with her strong, gutsy and sexually free models. Her work emits sexual desire, not only of the model but also by extension of herself, as the photographer. The level of erotism established is subtle, mysterious and hypnotic despite the heavy overtones of voyeurism. Throughout the shoot, she embodies the model and metaphorically, they become one“. ©Joanne [email protected] To read…

My Latest Vogue Column Article Published with Photographer Heather Evans-Smith
I am so pleased to see my latest article for my column at Vogue has just been published. This time I interviewed the stunningly talented photographer Heather Evans-Smith. “Inspired by the deep emotional qualities of photographers Francesca Woodman and Sally Mann; their influence seeps into the soul of her images. Unlike Woodmann, who preferred to work in old buildings, where the cracked plaster and grimy floorboards lent the pictures a creepy Gothic sensibility; Evans-Smith unearths her beautiful home as studio and setting for her fantastical shoots. In presenting her ingenuity to us, her photographs remind us of our own capacity to dream and in some cases, recall”. Read more here.
