Justine Parons - Photographer

[ellastica]

It's quite surprising the lack of online info on this talented photographer, esp in this day and age...hopefully this thread will change that! I first remember seeing her work in SPIN magazine in the early 2000s back when I subscribed. She has a wicked sense of humor and color matched with a no-nonsense, raw photographic aesthetic.

An excerpt from "Our Cameras, Our Selves: The new breed of fashion photographer is young and female -- and she'd rather take pictures of life as she knows it than shoot glossy cover girls". Gleaned from New York magazine's website:

There's a new cadre of fashion photographers, all of them women and, refreshingly, all of them with nothing but a camera to grind. These photographers -- Elaine Constantine, Elinor Carucci, Ellen Nolan, Vanina Sorrenti, Liz Collins, and Justine Parsons -- are less concerned with addressing the welter of female stereotypes before them than with just doing, or shooting, their own visions. And so they do, for the coolest-kid magazines in fashion: Italian Vogue, French Vogue, Surface, W, The Face, Harper's Bazaar.

A New York Times article on photographer Philip-Lorca diCorcia published September 5th 2000:

''I'm attracted to the narrative, to the fact that the pictures are somewhat dangerous and very American and completely unsentimental,'' said Justine Parsons, a young fashion and portrait photographer, who freely admits to the impact Mr. diCorcia has had on her work.
