“Smalltown Boy” 2021 Lookbook for @ppdofficial @lcflondon_ @showstudio @thelondonseven 🔥 by @lucarapisardaphoto _____________________________ Description : For this series, I decided to start using film and Polaroid. I love the raw energy and the spontaneity that you are able to capture with this format. Beautiful Terrible is an art series that explores the complicated representation of women in society. The image of a bullfight can be seen as a metaphor that evokes the constant battle women face, where the bull and bullfighter are entwined in a paradox of opposing similarities, where a woman can be seen as both matador and bull simultaneously. It echoes interchangeable and unstable roles in aspects such as: challenge versus resistance, dominance versus submission, action versus passivity, strength versus weakness, victor versus vanquished. These opposing sides face each other head on in a battle that embodies a woman's social strife. By evoking a seemingly hyper-masculine sport such as bullfighting, and conversely focusing on depictions of female matadors in powerful imagery, this series confronts society's perspectives. _____________________________ Credits : Artist: @justin_dingwall Models: @emytcc Stylist: @jessgaschette Hair & Makeup: @turquoise15 Assistant: @fanusbeetge #justindingwall #fineartphotography #conceptualphotography #fineartportrait #portrait #portraitphotography #fineart #interdesign #matador #fashionphotographer #production #creativedirector #art #beautifulterrible #bullfighter _____________________________
