Hannah Starkey

I found Hannah Starkey in one of my library-raidings and liked her so much I took her book home with me, initially because I thought I would update and scan photos from it for here, but knowing I don't have a scanner, I understood that I fell in awe of her point of view and execution. Her over-stylized lighting and scenarios seem straight out of the advertising department here at RIT, but I think it is her process that intrigues me most. It is a collaboration between her past experiences and those of her sitters coupled with the emotions and feelings from both parties. In Photographs from 1997 to 2007 the main subject was women and she explains about the parallel experiences she can share with them versus how men might interpret the scenarios themselves.
