Next Generation 2015:聽Future Greats
Contemporary photography is entering a limitless post-analogue phase of innovation.聽Aesthetica has聽handpicked a selection of promising young photographers聽working across聽documentary, fine art and experimental digital media, in聽partnership with. These creatives are pushing the聽limits of photography through cross-platform experimentation. We interview聽London-based photographer and London College of Communication alumnus Hannah White.
Hannah aims to reveal聽the manipulative power of the advertising image and how consumers can desire organic objects rather than materialistic ones. Her work is characterised by an adventurous use of multimedia, and technological experimentation, including 3D printing and work with flash and fluids to reproduce lustrous textures in her photography.聽She employs聽popular techniques used in advertising imagery, testing these in order to make the onlooker desire the organic object within. The resulting perfection that is perceived becomes an unattainable, fictional commodity, reflected in images of success, beauty and wealth, depicting the moment at which we emotionally part with sense and reality, and join the hyper-real, and fabricated world.
