FRANCESCA WOODMAN THREAD?
WHY THE FUCK NOT?
SHE WAS A PHOTOGRAPHER AND RIGHT NOW I AM POSTING THIS THREAD ON A "PHOTOGRAPHY" FORUM.
LETS HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT HER WORK.
I CAN SEE HER INFLUENCE EVERYWHERE IN THE ALT YOUTH CULTURE ON THE INTERNET AND IN EVEN THE MAINSTREAM PARTS OF THE INTERNET.
THE WAY SHE TOOK THE INFLUENCES FROM GOTH CULTURE, SURREALISM, ROMAN SYMBOLISM AND SHE EXPRESSED HERSELF WITH THOSE INFLUENCES THOUGHT THE MEDIUM OF PHOTOGRAPHY IN SUCH YOUNG AGE IS QUITE FASCINATING TO ME.
SOME ARGUE THAT HER WORK IS VERY GENRIC LIKE SHE A FROM TUMBLR GOTH GIRL. I THINK THATS WHAT I LOVE ABOUT HER WORK IS THAT ITS SO INFLUENTIAL THAT NOW IT LOOK VERY GENRIC. BUT WE SHOULD JUDGE HER WORK IN CONTEXT OF HER TIME NOT BY OURS. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY WE CAN DO JUSTICE WITH HER WORK OR ANY PHOTOGRAPHER'S WORK AS A PHOTOGRAPHY COMMUNITY.
SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT HER WORK.
IF YOU LIKE/DON'T LIKE HER WORK THEN PLEASE ELABORATE YOUR OPINIONS.
ALSO I WOULD LOVE TO GET MORE GOTHIC STYLE PHOTOGRAPHERS RECOMMENDATIONS.
