Amir Farokhpour - Task #3


What i really like about Alex Prager's work is how her photos are somehow mysterious. Her photos look odd and i really enjoy that about her work. Since most of her photos is staged i tried doing the same; something different from what i usually do. Any thoughts?

Task #3- Alex DeMelo





I was inspired by Alex Prager for this work. At first, I was EXTREMELY exited to give my own spin on her work, but my dreams got crushed (slightly) when I remembered that it looks like Eight Below outside. Her work is nostalgic, and summery. Two hard concepts to grasp considering the most nostalgic thing in my life in gameboy color (no "u") and the groundhog lied about there being two more weeks of winter. Anyways, I tried my best to copy her aesthetically. I read in an interview that she uses wigs for all of her models, which I found very interesting, because she is not concerned at all with presenting a model naturally, but instead exactly to her vision, which I respect. I put my own spin on her work in a more awkward, less colourful way. Not sure which colour to make the top, any suggestions? What do you think? Am i spanning too many decades with the coca-cola, persian rug, chihuahua combo?
