CHARLIE WHITE

Charlie White is a photographer that one of my friends introduced me to. I like the idea of fantasy in his photos, as well as the way his pictures look like slides out of a film. He has a way of making his sets look fake, even though they are often just real houses or rooms that have been lit or photographed strangely. He also uses a lot of photoshop in his work, often getting real models to pose and then photoshopping them into strange characters or beasts. Everything in his photos looks clean, colourful and oddly perfect giving an eerie feeling to his already strange pictures.

"Charlie White doesn't take photographs. He constructs them. Like a Hollywood director, he orchestrates scenes, commissions sets, hires actors, and employs a visual effects team. Then he oversees a grueling postproduction process in which each element of the shoot is digitized, scrutinized, and perfected down to the pixel. In essence, he captures an entire f/x film in one frame". -Jenn Shreve-
