Deborah Turbeville - Photographer

Estella* · 01-01-2005

i discovered her for myself a few months ago and think she is one of the most fantastic photogrophers out there.
her non-fashion-photography is even more awesome but i´m postin some fashion stuff.
does anyone else know/like her?
opinions?

Very lovely, it has such an antique and delicate feel to it. I also remember reading that she deliberately tore at the work to give it that effect...

She's incredible. I've always loved her work. It looks so vintage but a lot of her work is from the 80's and 90's. And she's still working today!

yes, antique and unreal...here is a nice quote: "i have an instinct for finding the odd location, the dismissed face, the eerie athmosphere, the oppressive mood...my muses are kafka, dostoyevsky, andree tarkovsky, the list is endless...i like my pictures best when there is a sense of tension, an unfinished narrative,...ambiguity... in these times aesthetic taste is dismissed as irrelevant. well, i am perverse, for that very reason i´m more drawn to it than ever. i have been described as having style, of being a mannered photographer...it´s some people´s quarrel with my work and others´ fascination."

i just bought one of her books called studio st. petersburg. black and white dancers between ruins...prints looking as if they had been buried in these ruins for a century!

That sounds incredible. Who is it published by?

metal-on-metal · 01-01-2005

Nevermind. Just found out: Bulfinch Press. And it's out of print.

Beautiful choices Anna....love Deborah Turbeville, but kinda along the same look (for their old-fashioned, antique quality) I prefer Paolo Roversi.

The book you bought sounds very, very interesting!
