These photographs are stunning! The dramatic lighting, the vast emptiness, the careful composition, and the mind-blowing fact that these are photographs of models constructed and photographed in the Artist's studio combine to produce some of the most provocative empty-space photographs i have ever seen. These painstakingly constructed photographs by James Casebere are extremely detailed, and knowing that the table-sized models used to create these images were produced with mostly household objects makes them even more incredible.

I agree. In particular, his lighting is exquisite.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what you think about these spaces as filtered through his work. It goes from a representation of a life-size space in a small scale - table size or a little larger - then is translated into a then large 7x6' photo. Clearly the scale of his printing is to amplify the details, the beautiful light, and show off the image - but what else is it doing? Making it life-size again.....
ReplyDeleteHe's a wonderful example of an artist using photography & sculpture in his works - something to be inspired by!
The top too are super neat!!
