The fashion observer

> ”Miles Aldridge’s images depict a stupendously glossy and magnetically vibrant world with ultra slick, hyper-lit models, signature acid tones, and mysterious narratives. Cinematic expression marks Aldridge’s work; his dream-driven, erotic style has been compared to Bergman, Bunuel, David Lynch, and Hitchcock. Aldridge is first of all an artist of the subconscious, secondly a fashion photographer”.

Now he´s showing a complete overview of his fashion photographs together with pictures for photographs at Steven Kasher gallery ( NYC). “ Scrawled in pen or pencil, the black-and-white drawings generate ideas for potential photographs and map out series of pictures like a film storyboard. Sometimes dotted with raunchy hand-written notes — such as “green/yellow bra” or “painting nipples with lipstick” — Aldridge’s drawings are crucial to his photographs”.

M·A·C Cosmetics is taking part of this project as has a long- standing relationship with Aldridge as they have collaborated on nearly every beauty image for the brand over the past 5 years a.

Miles Aldridge: Pictures for Photographs will be on view May 28th through June 20th, 2009 at Steven Kasher Gallery ( 521 W. 23rd St., New York, NY 100119
