Stacey Mark - Photographer

[ChrissyM]

after looking at these photos i think i agree with mullet's opinions...
there seems to be something off or a bit missing about these photos...
i think the light seems a bit too "glaring" in some photos...
especially those with windows etc.. .. just seems to sharp and blinding
and the fuzziness of some/most of the photos isn't working for me either... which i believe is the way the photos were made and is not the result of scanning

thanks for bringing this in angie... it's always nice to be exposed to a body of someone's work

you critical people, you
i must say while it's easy on the eye and not particularly 'deep' i still enjoy looking at her pictures, they mean to be sweet and they are... very contemporarily sweet.

Sneaking in here again to speak out in her defence since I brought this in...

But no, really. I can see your points w the lightning and the somewhat fuzzy quality. But it really doesn't bother me, since I feel that the snapshot-quality is totally deliberate. There are people who might be do snapshot "better", but what makes her work stand out for me is (again) the intimacy, the "comfort zone" instead of the usual male gaze on the subject.

Thanks however for comments... (esp the nice ones)

that's an interesting point, it's something that i always saw in corinne day's way of depicting women...

 

[Angie C]

^ah! That's def it... like in her early 90's kate pics.

(But of course I wouldn’t go so far as to compare them...)(yet)

I love her work, it's usually very soft, fairy-tale like..just very easy on the eyes.

I like her style! It is very down to earth, unpretentious but glamourous and very... um, domestic?
I love the "wake me up before you go" ed, so playful and awesome lighting!

P.S. the retro vibe her photos have...

 

[niki03]

I really like her style of photography...It's simple but very pretty and whimsical...I especially love the Helen Feskens Lula shoot

 

[LESider]

she has left Nylon to persue photography full time.

 

[Angie C]

Aha, that's good news... I guess? I'll be watching out for her!

 

[lmelanie]

[mnis]

[zoooli48]

Some of his pictures seem quite interesting...

 

[cutxpaste]

I've always loved some of the stuff she's done for Nylon, namely the pattern recognition editorial. I still have that saved some where in my room from so long ago.

Her Helen Feskens Lula editorial is equally wonderful but I'm not too fond of the new stuff for Purple.

I see her work with Asia Argento hasn't been posted. If I'm not mistaked she did a book or had an exhibition all of pictures of Asia. Either way, the series was called some girls wander by mistake. I'll try to find some.

^That'd be nice!
