september 17th through october 30th sous les eloiles
gallery will be showing the early fashion works of
photographer sophie delaporte.
delaportes images manage to harness a balance of art
and the purpose it is supposed to serve. her style merges
innocence with an almost fairy-tale quality where the
viewer is swept into a world far from fashion and back
to a time where we were still read bed time stories.
photography critic martin harrison said about delaportes work;
"a fashion photograph capable of exceeding the lifetime of
a monthly magazine requires a certain duplicity. this duplicity
is the photographer's who undertakes selling a product while
hiding the secret ambition of creating art." **
it seems that hiding stories and other worlds within her work
delaporte is able to achieve the balance of being a working
photographer- selling a product and earning from her craft,
without selling out from what she believes her work should be.
check it out later this month at sous les etoiles gallery
