Overturn
I have used a few of these images in a previous Blog, but in this case I feel the repetition is needed.

Roger Deckker
Generally speaking contemporary fashion photography does not excite me as much, there are exceptions of course... Something to do with the invention of the digital camera I expect, it leaves me cold.
There is a lack of gritty, experimental and emotional qualities that are so deeply embedded in analog photography. I don't imagine, that the likes of Deborah Turberville, Sarah Moon, Paolo Roversi have fully embraced digital. Then again I could be wrong.
In any case I have recently discovered Roger Deckker, the image above really reminds me of Sam Haskins' November Girl. I like the variations and the way he pushes the medium. One image in particular, which I hope to post soon could easily be confused with a shot of Nico.
NICO
'In 1967 Nico and I hung out at John and Tom Law's home above the Sunset Strip where she visited and we did a shoot. She tried on a dress I had made to wear during my pregnancy with Pilar, our first child. Nico started dancing around the back yard twirling and pirouetting and having a wonderful time. A very special moment in all my years of photography. Nico was an amazing woman.'
