Zoe is such a versatile model! I've been attracted to Ralph Gibson's work ever since another Carriage House Model (Amy Marie) worked with him in New York last year. He has published numerous books of photography, all of which have and abstract look and feel that I find make his work very appealing and images powerful despite their simplicity. Gibson also is of the generation that personally knew the masters, Edward Weston, Andre Kertesz, and Dorothea Lange, yet is still active today, and his images evoke the influence of these masters.
Zoe and I set out to work in the studio with lighting and artifacts that attempt to find the simplicity and minimalist expression of Ralph Gibson. It turned out to be more difficult than we expected... but here are some of the results!
