From the article “Images that Intrigue” by Peter Skinner www.aftercapture.com A superb example of a campaign eliciting / that emotional response is one of / Dean’s most recent success stories—images / for an ongoing series, “Fabricate,” for / couture designers MXM Couture (www. / mxmcouture.com). Significantly, the initial / two images in the “Fabricate” campaign / claimed first and second place in / the latest Commercial/Advertising Photographer / of the Year International Aper-ture Awards. In the only other competition / Dean has entered—as a student—he / claimed a gold and silver distinction and / a runner-up award for prints in the annual / Australian Professional Photographers / Association awards. / “ ‘Fabricate’ is a collaboration of / some of the best stylists and production / people that Australia has to offer / and I feel it definitely shows. There will / be five images in the series and the first / two took months to produce so there are / still three more to complete. It’s a really / exciting campaign,” says Dean. / “Fabricate,” as Dean explains, has a / double meaning and is an exploration / into conceptualization; its execution / is definitely a mental exercise. “ ‘Fabricate’ / refers both to the subject of fashion / photography, the clothes, and more / importantly to the images’ fabrication—how they are created in the sense that / they are highly stylized pre- and postproduction / collages,” he says. / Each image is designed and created / with the intention of arousing intense curiosity / and examination into not only its / finality but also how it was made and its / underlying theme. “The images turn the / exhibition of fashion through photography / back on itself by exposing the process / of exhibition itself—exhibiting the / exhibit, if you will,” says Dean. While this / is a classic case of a picture being worth a / thousand words, Dean points out that the / multi-layered images allow viewers to analyze / the process of digital photography itself, / which incorporates surreally collaged / objects or has perfectly manicured and / poised models caught in mid-jump. / “The series is united by a sense of volatility,” / Dean says. “Subjects are frozen within / turbulent scenes. This chaos, depicted / through flapping wings, flowing dresses / and crashing objects, is meant to reflect / the flippant, fleeting and unstable nature / of the fashion industry. And yet within this / chaos each image captures an ephemeral / moment of beauty, allowing the models to / maintain their dominance—to which the / audience is unwittingly subjected.” Scrutinize / the superb images and you will see / exactly what he means. / As with all complex and multi-faceted / campaigns, the genesis of “Fabricate” has / been long and demanding. Several months / were devoted to drafting the original concepts, / set building, hair and costume design. / Each image is multi-layered and the / set design was a combination of over 20 / different elements. All backgrounds for / the series’ images were shot in an old museum, / a location that provided ideal elements / such as walls, floors and windows. / A major technical challenge was ensuring / consistency of lighting—its quality, intensity / and direction. A Sydney retouching / company, Electric Art (www.electricart. / com.au), was hired for conformity maintenance— / to ensure the same look and feel / was infused into each image, / With two “Fabricate” images under / his belt, Dean is now working on the remaining / three but no specifics have been / finalized—although the models have / been selected and some shooting on various / elements has been completed. Don’t / be surprised, however, if themes such as / exorcism, dead swans and models in dark / or macabre locations are featured.

Hi there! ☺ Yes…it´s me…..Andreas Stridsberg. Why am I opening a new account you ask? Well the answer is simple: Because i´m under contract with various publishers that demand they have “first dibs” on my work i can´t go around selling them left and right. I first have to wait for them to either accept or reject any of my new work. And because that´s usually a looooong and slooooow process i then use my other account to simply showcase my work. While on this account i can make those i know for sure my publishers have rejected available as prints to whomever may be interested. Does it make sense to you? :-) I´m sorry for possibly posting duplicates of something that i might already have posted at my original stridsberg-account But i need to keep them separeted due to above mentioned reasons. :-) Thanks for stopping by! And as always…keep an eye on my own website for my most recent work and my pointless blog: Sincerly Andreas Stridsberg www.mystic-pic.com P.S. I´m also sorry for repeating this message on my every single upload tonight…i just thought i´d be as clear as possible. Godness how i´m apologizing right now…i´m sorry about that as well. :-/
